Too many book ideas and no clue which one to start with? This episode walks you through a simple, repeatable process to choose a topic that’s both meaningful to you and valuable to your readers.​

In this quick coaching-style episode of The Author’s Edge, Publishing and Visibility Advisor Allison Lane shows you how to stop overthinking and start validating your ideas in the real world - without asking random people in a Facebook group to “vote” on your book.​

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why there is no single “right” book topic - and how chasing certainty keeps you stuck instead of shipping.​
• How to mine real reader questions (and Google’s “People Also Ask”) to find the problems your audience is already asking you to solve.​
• A simple 5-step “Questions My People Ask” exercise to validate your topic with a 5-minute voice note before you commit.​
