Building Your Confidence As A New Writer with @AbbieMood
Sometimes, it can be difficult for new writers, especially self-published writers, because we lack confidence. What right do we have to publish? What happens when imposter syndrome pops up? Or writer’s block? All valid feelings and situations. Thankfully, we have awesome cheerleaders like Abbie Mood Lang (writer, editor, teacher) to help us, my most recent #BookMarketingChat guest!
I started #BookMarketingChat about five years ago – to help writers learn not only how to use social media (that’s in my book), but also how to use it specifically for book marketing. I also wanted to help writers gain confidence in the writing and publishing process.
I was really pleased to have the fabulous Abbie as my guest on my weekly #BookMarketingChat! Abbie is a talented writer, copywriter, and strategist. She shared a ton of amazing tips writers can use right now to help gain confidence as we write and grow. See the Q&A below to immediately implement the strategies she uses.
