Holly Lisle. How To Think Sideways: Career Survival School For Writers, by Holly Lisle

The secret to creating a writing career for yourself isn't that much of a secret: Write a book, write another book, write another book….

But with everything from fear of putting words on the page, to trying to come up with the next salable idea, to writing an amazing beginning, a tight middle, and and spectacular ending, and then selling the book you wrote standing between you and your dream, where do you start?

You can struggle and flail for seven years, gathering a hundred or more rejection slips before you make your first sale, as I did.

Or you can shave years off the struggling and flailing, and spend six months learning what took me 25 years and 33 novels to discover.

I'm Holly Lisle, and I've been a successful full-time novelist since 1992.  My books have been published in the US and around the world, translated into other languages, …and have paid my bills, allowing me to write for a living without having to get a day job.  I've written in multiple genres, I hit my deadlines, and my work had been well-reviews by critics AND readers.

I know how to run a writing career, and better yet, I know how to teach you to do the same thing.
