Issue 113 of The Secrets

I just released Issue 113 of The Secrets newsletter. This issue covers the delicate problem of Rookie Mistakes.

In my career I’ve watched a lot of writers come into the business, get a couple books out, then vanish completely or resurface under another name. And then another one. And another one. A lot of the time it isn’t that their writing is bad, it is that they spend so much time working on building their career, that they never actually work at getting any better as writers. The ten mistakes outlined in this issue (which ran long) cover the problem areas where authors spin their wheels instead of making positive headway toward the career they’ve always wanted.

If you subscribe right now, you’ll get that issue, plus all the previous issues in this volume from 101 on. Your subscription will run through issue 125, and you’ll get those issues for only $1.

If you only want the single issue, click the link or on the image above and you’ll get it for $2.

I really think this issue is very important for authors just starting out, and even for some grizzled veterans who have allowed themselves to slip into some bad habits. Publishing is tough enough without shooting yourself in the foot before you take a single step on that long path to success.
