Introduction by Therese Walsh

After I got my publishing deal, the question I received most often from not-yet-published authors was this: How did you do it?
The pithy answer? You put your butt in a chair and write.

Don't you want to punch that answer in the face? It's like hearing someone with great hair say that she simply rolls out of bed in the morning and fluffs it a little. You know she has a cabinet filled with gels and sprays and various antifrizz products, but she doesn't want to share her secrets or admit to the mirror time required. She just wants you to admire the final product.

Well, butt in chair is only part of the story, and the least fantastical part at that. So let's try again.

How did you do it?
I spent several years writing and editing a version of the manuscript that would become my debut novel, but it wouldn't become my debut until after I gutted all of that polished prose. I tore the story to the ground and then built it back up with a new (more innovative) structure, new (shades-of-gray) characters, new (layered) storylines, and a new (stronger) voice. I finished the manuscript for a second time, and that version is what finally sold. The "formula," in broad strokes, was this:

   1. Write.
   2. Receive feedback with an open mind.
   3. Improve myself to improve my story.
   4. Repeat.</li
These steps contained fine brushstrokes, of course, as well as dozens of questions: What do you write? How often should you write? Do you need to take classes, read books, get an MFA? What barriers might you face, and how do you 4 Author In Progress overcome them? How do you receive feedback, and where do you find it? How do you process it all? Which changes do you-and don't you-make? What if you want to quit? How long must you go on? When is enough enough?

The purpose of Author in Progress is to answer those questions. This book offers guidance for the evolution of your manuscript and for yourself as a writer. We'll walk you through the stages every novelist must face, whether you want to obtain a traditional publishing deal or self-publish, and we'll introduce you to the stumbling blocks you might encounter before writing, while writing, when asking for feedback or seeking instruction, through rewriting, and beyond. --Questo testo si riferisce alla paperback edizione.

This book Author in Progress by Therese Walsh and Writer Unboxed is like a writing life coach in a book form because various ideas and resources are giving for a person who is determined to be a writer. I also like the encouragement given for people who wish to still hold a full-time job while also being a writer. Some of the other ideas discussed in this book; researching “best sources” for story topic (an example given on page 50), muster your courage (example given on page 117), read as a writer (example given on page 181), try this rather than quit (example given on page 297), and more

Reading this book won't make me a best-selling author. I have to do that. But If I do, some of the credit will go to the wonderful authors who wrote these articles. They're thought-provoking and inspirational, cheap at twice the price,

Superb Guide to Authorship

Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 12 settembre 2018

I especially appreciated hearing from several voices. This book, like most of its genre, is primarily directed at novelists, and I write non-fiction. Nevertheless, I gained immensely from reading - especially the parts about the publishing aspect of authorship.

Highly recommended.

A superb collection of essays on the craft of novel writing and the care and feeding of novelists. All the contributors are well qualified to speak to their respective subjects. I don't think there was a single essay in the entire book that didn't teach me something. Highly recommended.
