Lindsey Smith is an entrepreneur and bestselling author of eight books, including the award-winning Eat Your Feelings.
She is the founder of One Idea Press and co-founder of Get It Done, a company specializing in writing, communication, marketing, and publishing services.

Seven years ago, Lindsey created one of the world's first online courses on how to write and self publish a book, grew that course into a million-dollar brand, and helped 1,000 first-time authors launch their book into the marketplace.
Since then, Lindsey has worked in every aspect of the publishing industry--from author, to publisher, to PR strategist and publicist. She knows the book industry inside and out, and is a seasoned pro who can answer pretty much any question imaginable.
Lindsey also works as a literary agent and handles a small number of projects each year. For one of her authors, she recently negotiated a film adaption deal with a major network.

In her spare time, Lindsey dabbles in stand-up comedy and enjoys wandering around her kitchen making up jokes and laughing loudly to no one in particular.
