The publishing experts we follow have plenty of mindset advice and reflections to share.
Here are the ones that we thought were can't-miss for our authors:
-
How I learned to stop labeling my process and start trusting my story: For author Yasmin Angoe, naming her particular writing process had become counterproductive; learning to just roll with it freed her to create the way she knew best (Writer Unboxed).
-
The imposter syndrome crisis: Author Rachel Toalson recounts the deep panic she felt before delivering a keynote speech and the arguments she made to herself — and would make to anyone else suffering from imposter syndrome — to counter it (Writer Unboxed).
-
How revising my novel while querying helped me win an award: Even if you're not seeking a trad-pub contract, you might benefit from the attitude adjustments that author Chital Mehta found herself making throughout that process (Jane Friedman).
