For many years I hosted a blog with weekly posts by some amazing authors, from debuts to award-winners and bestsellers, about how they got started writing and publishing. Each and every one of us faced so many challenges along the way. It takes persistence — belief in yourself long after your own mother may have given up on your writing career — to get a book published, or even a story. I found these guest author posts inspiring, and I’m culling some of the best and adding new ones, along with writing and publishing tips, on Substack! You can follow me there, or sign up for a weekly email.
The archives here are old and untended, so some of this content isn’t as pretty as it once was due to platform changes over the years, but feel free to poke around.
Good luck with your own writing!
