The Writer’s Mindset: How to Get Out of Your Own Way and Work Toward Publication – May 18th- 12 PM ET $79

Description

Is your manuscript done and you don’t know what to do next?

Is it time to find an agent?

Have you decided to self publish?

How do you decide and what are the next steps?

Are you feeling stuck?

Instead of getting those queries out, or finishing up the copy edits or cover designs writers get stuck in over-editing and revision, unnecessary research, excuses, blaming, and blocks. The voices of the inner critics get louder, supported by every delay, every rejection, every inkling of self-doubt.
