Publisher's summary

Do you want to be a more relaxed author? There are plenty of books and tips on writing faster, learning more marketing tactics and strategies, trying to maximize your ranking, hitting the top of the charts, juicing the algorithms, and hacking different ad platforms. While these are all important things - which the authors themselves regularly write and talk about - it's also important to recognize that your author journey is a marathon, and not a sprint.

Joanna Penn and Mark Leslie Lefebvre have been in the business long enough to see authors burning out and leaving the writing life, because they turned what they love into a hamster wheel of ever more production and marketing tasks they hate. It doesn't have to be this way.

This book is a collection of tips on how to be a more relaxed author - and return to the love that brought you to writing in the first place. Includes: Relaxed Writing, Relaxed Publishing, Relaxed Marketing, and Relaxed Business.

Balancing All The Voices

Joanna called me out when she mention being overwhelmed before I even finished a first draft. I’m a plotter in writing & marketing. I love the emphasis on timing and not having to do all the things. Love y’all. Thanks so much for giving me a sound mind in this industry.
