Synopsis

Do you want to be a more relaxed author?There are plenty of books and tips on writing faster, learning more marketing tactics and strategies, trying to maximize your ranking, hitting the top of the charts, juicing the algorithms, and hacking different ad platforms. While these are all important things — which the authors themselves regularly write and talk about — it's also important to recognize that your author journey is a marathon, and not a sprint.Joanna Penn and Mark Leslie Lefebvre have been in the business long enough to see authors burning out and leaving the writing life because they turned what they love into a hamster wheel of ever more production and marketing tasks they hate. It doesn't have to be this way.This book is a collection of tips on how to be a more relaxed author — and return to the love that brought you to writing in the first place. Includes: Relaxed Writing, Relaxed Publishing, Relaxed Marketing, and Relaxed Business.

An uplifting book to make you a relaxed author in your writing journey. I received an Advanced Review Copy of this Book. However, this review is my honest opinion. There was a time when authors were suggested not to write fast, publish traditionally, and leave the formatting, cover-designing, printing......more

Goodreads review by Ronel on January 26, 2022

This timely book helped me to realise that the write-publish-repeat-hamster-wheel-of-death indie authors are taught to run on isn’t the be-all and end-all of an indie author career. It sounds silly, but until reading that it’s okay not to do stuff everyone says is the key to success (e.g. running ads......more
