What kind of book could you produce from your blog content?

The majority of bloggers who have landed book deals didn’t set out to blog a book. They simply blogged their way to a book deal. And once they signed on the dotted line, they had to figure out how to book their blog—repurpose all those blog posts into a manuscript that would read like a […]
