What You Get: Building the Foundation, Part I
I provide advice on how to avoid issues common to nonfiction writers in this section. You name it—fear of failure, a lack of direction, running into a wall around 30 pages in. Imagine how much more self-assured and driven you’ll feel once you’ve laid the right foundation for your book.
