Invisible Stories: Write to be Seen


Dec 16, 2020

In today’s episode of Invisible Stories, I speak with award-winning author and owner of HALO Publishing International, Lisa Umina. Lisa founded HALO Publishing to publish the voices of authors around the world. Lisa created The Milo and Lisa Show after writing her first children’s book, Milo Finds His Best Friend. Her third book, Milo and the Green Wagon won the national Christian Indie Publishing Award. Lisa traveled and performed with Milo and as a motivational speaker all over. Writing led to her full-time career as an international publisher. 

Lisa blended a number of her different passions together (writing, speaking, comedy, and publishing) in order to create her business and brand. She shares her knowledge on the publishing industry, and how she helps authors to find their own voice and get it out into the world.  Lisa and I chat about: 

  • Why it is so important for speakers to write a book and get it published as a resource for their audience. 
  • How the publishing industry has changed over the years, and why indie publishing and hybrid publishers are oftentimes a better alternative for authors. 
  • How social media has opened up a whole new world of possibilities for authors to market themselves and their books and brand.
