Mindset tips for authors: August 14, 2024

The publishing experts we follow have plenty of mindset advice to offer.

Here are the ones that we thought were can't-miss for our authors:

• Crossing the finish line: Kathleen McCleary discusses a few of the technical aspects of finishing writing your first draft, but she also addresses some of the emotions that come along with it (Writer Unboxed).

• You have permission: If you're daunted by all that comes along with writing and publishing a novel, Lindsey Pogue encourages you to focus first on the joys of actually crafting and to remember that you deserve to enjoy the process (Women Writers, Women's Books).
