"What makes a good book, one that will sell?" The truth is, there's no guarantees.What makes a book great is your heart, your effort, and what you learned while writing it. It might be a platform for your next project, or you might reach an unexpected audience. It all counts. Don't give up! #writing

Writing is a skill! It is not something we're all good at right away. If you feel like your first draft sucks, don't let it keep you down. Your drafts are there to help you get better at a skill, not be a representation of where you'll be when it's done. #amediting #amwriting #writingadvice #writing

"Write Every Day" is a phrase you'll hear a LOT, but in practice it might be harmful. Forcing writing when you're tired, exhausted, or in need of a break can be nerve wracking and make you doubt yourself more often than not. Sustain your creativity, don't break it! #amediting #amwriting #writing

Why would rejection ever be a good thing? That's the question I tackle in my Substack post this month. Check out substack.com/@amplifybook... for more!

Rejection is a natural part of the writing field. Editors, writers, agents, publishers, and everyone in between faces constant rejection until something lands. When you inevitably receive a rejection letter, know it shows your progress, not failure! #writing #amediting #pitching #publishing

Taking a pause on writing can work for a time, but then you can get stuck in that pause. To get back to writing, you have to find time to sit down and do it, even if it's just 5m/day. Immersion & consistency is so much better than falling out of practice #writing #amediting

One of the most common phrases you'll hear when becoming an author is "write every day", but is that feasible? In my experience, it's better to have a writing sketchbook, where you build over time and watch yourself grow with practice! #writing #writingtips #write

"What is Book Coaching?" For me, it means being a developmental editor and mentor for novelists & graphic novelists seeking to publish their stories. I'm also a teacher, skill builder, project manager, built in accountability partner, and story cheerleader all wrapped up in one.

Being a newer writer, you will need to build fundamental skillsets before writing a novel comes naturally. Stopping yourself before you get good just because it's not good yet hurts you in the long run. Keep experimenting and see where it leads you! #writing #authors #newwriter

Writing can be a great way to process, but remember that writing is work and processing is also work. If you're investing in your career as an author, make time for breaks and reconnect with things that bring you rest to so you can keep writing healthily and happily. #writingtips #writing #r&r
