For writer's early in their author career, authors already independently published suffering from fatigue, or those who want to enjoy the self-publishing journey, this is the book for you! This offers practical ways to conquer stress, boost productivity, and love your career.

Each chapter addresses specific challenges an author may face. It begins with helping you to know yourself as an author, finding your strengths and weaknesses. I read it from start to finish, which made it a bit harder to get through. It is definitely more suited for an author going straight to where they are having difficulties.

At the end of each chapter, there are questions to help you reflect on what the chapter covered and how you can apply it in your life. I think this is definitely a book every author setting out should have, right next to S.K. Quinn's For Love or Money book.

I received a copy from the author for reviewing purposes. All opinions expressed are my own. ( )

This is a very informative book. It could be especially helpful to someone starting out with their writing. The author gives tips for writers, even on how to make time to write. There is access to several resources also. She gives honest information and talks about realistic expectations. If you are thinking about writing/publishing a book, this could be a helpful resource.

This is no ordinary book to help authors build their skills.
Pauline Wiles takes an unusual, and little used path.
She advocates strongly for writing what you love, and for
adding self care to the writer's toolbox. Her advice is honest
(sometimes brutally honest), and aimed mostly at writers
who want to publish their work outside of the traditional
scene. However I think it can be applied to any writer,
especially the part about self care. The best quality work
does not happen when a person is burned out. ( )
