really liked it
bookshelves: non-fiction, writing-career

This book covers everything from managing your public life (blog, marketing, interactions, etc.) to your private life (writing, staying focused, etc.). And though a bit dated (focusing on physical books and ignoring ebooks as a viable income) it still holds valuable insights.

“Providing yourself with positive structure is one way of affirming that you respect your own imagination and creativity enough to set yourself up for success.�

Very detailed, but focused on the traditionally published author. There are some pieces of advice, though, that can be used universally (some things I did even before reading the book).

“Develop a message and stick to it.� Great marketing advice.

A good primer for newbie authors.
