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:
-
The business of being an author: Zelly Ruskin describes the challenges — and, ultimately, rewards — of working to promote and market her book and then coming back to earth after the rush of the debut launch faded (Women Writers, Women's Books).
-
Artistic integrity versus market trends: Harper Ross explores how a writer can stay true to their creative vision while also catching momentum from what's currently hot and expected to stay hot in literature (Writer Unboxed).
-
Romantasy's popularity shows no signs of slowing: This isn't exactly advice on what attitude to take, but Dan Holloway brings up some interesting points about the opportunities that the current literary trend — romantasy — offers to writers and to other possible crossover genres (Alliance of Independent Authors).
