Publisher's summary

There are more outlets than ever for writers to spread their messages and share their work, more opportunities to speak out and be seen. Writers expose themselves freely and willingly in a way that would have been unfathomable 50 years ago, and more people than ever are writing and publishing. Men and women are writing with equal fervor and commitment to their message and craft. As a result, it’s easy to assume, or hope, that the gendered playing field is a thing of the past, too. Unfortunately for women writers, it’s not. Knowing what we’re up against and how to fight back is the heart and soul of Write On, Sisters!

Inside, Brooke Warner draws upon research, anecdotes, and her personal experiences from 20 years in the book publishing industry to show how women’s writing is discounted or less valued than men’s writing, then provides support to overcome these challenges. This audiobook also shines light on how women writers face not only ever-present historical and social challenges but also their own self-limiting beliefs. Write On, Sisters! is for every woman writer ready to be done with all that, and who’s ready for the next revolution.

I loved this book.

This book came at the perfect time for me, an author needing to hear some words of encouragement, as well as laying out specific things I can do to improve my skills.

A Must-read for All Sisters Who Write

Brooke isa beacon of hope for those of us who grew up 'not good enough' and who now write. The week before I listened to this book, my creative nonfiction manuscript was rejected by Penguin Random House and another university press. My writing was superb, they said. Exceptional, even. I just wouldn't sell the numbers they required to justify my book's publication. Brooke helped me realise there are many other ways to publish, and that I needn't lose hope. I found myself nodding along with her as she pulled back the layers of conditioning I found myself grappling with. I won't put my manuscript in a drawer. I'll give it every chance, and I won't lose my voice in the process. If you are a writer, and identify as female, please give this book a listen. You won't be sorry you did.

Empowering writers

Manages to be inspiring while giving lots of practical advice and insight into the publishing industry. Very nice to hear the author read her work. A very empowering book. Thank you Brooke Warner!

Best advice EVER for women writers!

I learned so much from this book. Game-changing in how I see my path to publishing. Warner gives us her hard-won wisdom and innovative thinking with clarity, candor, and compassion. I will be sending this book as a gift to all my women writer friends!
