A must listen

Lynnda never fails to relax me, I am used to her meditation books but this is a nice change. I was able to be calm and present while learning how to navigate this great new journey of becoming an author.

Enjoyable

This author gets to the point in a fun way. They talked about more than just the writing, this one felt more like how to make you book successful once its written.

Stayed on track

Lauren is talented with words and managed to keep me on track with everything she was saying. The information was given in a light-hearted way that I responded to better than some of the stuffier how-to guides out there.

Great continuation

I listened to this author's other book first, the name I can not remember right now. However this book does expand on her previous sentiments of writing a book and how to handle all of the stressors along the way.

did the job

This author gave information on writing a book and some about publishing. She managed to add a little about marketing and the importance of other people reading the manuscript first very important.

five stars

I loved almost everything about this book. I did find the amount of information a little overwhelming. The author does put it into sections to make it feel like less. i like the ease of each section being named so you know exactly what you're getting.
