I love books, and since you’re here, I guess you do too! This site is for writers just starting out in need of craft advice, as well as for authors further ahead on the journey looking for business help and a glimpse into the future of creativity. I've been sharing my writing and publishing experience since 2008, so you can learn from my mistakes and be more successful in your creative life. You will find information and inspiration on writing, self-publishing, book marketing and how to make a living with your writing through articles, podcast episodes, videos, books, tools, and courses. If you want to jump straight into the content, go to Start Here, or read on for my story. You can also click here to sign up for my free Author Blueprint, which contains everything you need to know to get started with writing, publishing, book marketing, and making a living with your writing.
