For writers, the book is the order, and publishing is the delivery. We’ll start with your release date and work backward from there, and along the way we’ll line up what you need: your team, writing space, and your supplies.

Time management is important when you are a writer, just as it is for any role. To put rest into practice while keeping up with deadlines, you need a system that breaks up your work into manageable focus blocks and built-in breaks.

Every morning, I wake up with a brand-new idea that I want to use, and I have to write it down. In this blog, I share a few methods I use and invite you to try one of them out this summer.

Getting your book to the point where it is ready for publication can feel overwhelming, especially when you do not fully understand the process. And I know that feeling firsthand. While I was working with Beth and her team on my own book, I spent weeks reviewing my manuscript’s interior layout, marking up every place I thought needed adjusting.
