The publishing experts we follow have plenty of craft and creative process advice to offer.
Here are the ones that we thought were can't-miss for our authors:
-
The story behind my story: Margie Goldsmith, who had been writing travel stories, saw the COVID shutdown as a sign to write a memoir ... but she had to work through her imposter syndrome and other challenges (Women Writers, Women's Books).
-
What being a knitter taught me about writing: Author, editor, and book coach Nita Collins shares the resilience lessons she's taken from one type of creative labor to another (Jane Friedman).
-
Some of my best writing teachers have been people in prison: Joyce Hinnefeld describes how working with incarcerated people has informed her writing as a whole (Women Writers, Women's Books).
-
The art of literary stewardship: Terah Shelton Harris encourages authors to be open about their journeys — both the highs and the lows — so that other writers can find support from them ... and give it, in return (Writer Unboxed).
