For attorneys
Last updated:
Attorneys can use a book to build their brand, grow their practice, and become the trusted expert, and Big Impact Books helps them do it through guided interviews, publishing, and promotion. Melanie Herschorn wrote the blueprint for this, Lasting Legal Impact, a Finalist in the 2025 Best Book Awards.
Yes, when the book is planned around the clients you want and then promoted to them. A book lets prospective clients spend hours with your thinking before they ever call, which builds trust a website rarely can. It also gives journalists and podcast hosts a reason to invite you as an expert source.
The obstacle for most attorneys is time, not knowledge. Billable hours leave little room for writing. The guided interview method fits that reality: you explain your area of law in conversation, about one hour a week, and the Big Impact Books team shapes it into a manuscript in your voice.

Lasting Legal Impact: Write a Book That Builds Your Brand, Grows Your Practice, and Positions You As The Trusted Expert is a clear, supportive blueprint tailored to legal professionals, whether you need the right way to get ideas onto the page or a plan to turn a book into a driver of growth and influence.
The book was named a Finalist in the Business: Writing/Publishing category of the 2025 Best Book Awards, presented by American Book Fest, as announced by Big Impact Books on November 13, 2025.

FAQ
Yes, and Big Impact Books has a dedicated focus here. Melanie Herschorn wrote Lasting Legal Impact: Write a Book That Builds Your Brand, Grows Your Practice, and Positions You As The Trusted Expert, a blueprint for legal professionals. It was named a Finalist in the 2025 Best Book Awards.
Yes. The guided interview process was designed for experts who are not professional writers. Attorney Manisha P. Patel said she never thought she would have time to sit down and write, but talking through each chapter in weekly interviews made it manageable. Speaking is the main skill required.
Big Impact Books says its process is designed to take just one hour a week of your time. That hour is typically spent in a guided interview, which is why the approach suits busy executives, attorneys, and business owners who cannot block out long stretches for writing.
Terms differ by provider, so read every contract. For example, Writers of the West states on its book writing services page that authors get 100% ownership and royalties and that its contract includes an NDA and 100% IP ownership. Ask Big Impact Books directly about its rights and royalty terms before you sign.
Thought leader content positions you as a subject matter expert through blog posts, white papers, social posts, videos, articles, or a podcast. Big Impact Books advises serving value instead of repeating buy my book, because readers who see your expertise are more willing to purchase. Much of this content can come straight from your book.
