This is hands down the best advice for writers I’ve encountered in five years of pursuing traditional publishing and eight more of being an indie author. Much of what Becca says about the publishing industry and human behavior are things I felt were true at a gut level but had no way of proving. It felt so good to have those ideas validated. Not oh-hey-I-won-a-free-cup-of-Starbucks-coffee good but life-changing-and-sanity-saving good. This is exactly the sort of direction I’ve been looking for.
If you’re a writer who’s been struggling with sales despite all your hard work, you need this book. (Not because it will tell you how to improve your sales, but because it will explain why you should stop blaming yourself.) If you’re a writer who’s tried all the marketing courses, tricks, and techniques and just can’t get them to work, you need this book. If you’re a writer who’s dedicated to finding balance and satisfaction in your life, you need this book. Becca says right up front that it isn’t a magic bullet, that it takes hard work to change, but the true gold is her explanation of the “why” behind all the issues I just mentioned.
This book is a shot of hope with an atta-girl chaser. I’ll be eternally grateful to the universe and Amazon’s also-boughts for sending it my way.
