Mindset
This workbook is organized month-by-month to keep you from getting overwhelmed, but you can always slow down or speed up.

Writing and journaling exercises throughout play the role of a virtual writing coach, helping you to break through resistance and stop making excuses, as well as addressing common issues like fear and imposter syndrome.

But when the state of your budget dictates that you’re writing and publishing a book without hiring any outside professionals, beta readers are going to be a valuable resource. Our step-by step instructions and work sheets will get your manuscript to where it’s ready for a first pass, and our self-editing checklists will be an invaluable tool. Discover the secrets of effective self-editing with in-depth guidance on grammar, style, and structure – turning your rough draft into a polished gem.
