About this audiobook

Do you want to be a more relaxed author?

There are plenty of books and tips on writing faster, learning more marketing tactics and strategies, trying to maximize your ranking, hitting the top of the charts, juicing the algorithms, and hacking different ad platforms. While these are all important things — which the authors themselves regularly write and talk about — it's also important to recognize that your author journey is a marathon, and not a sprint.

Joanna Penn and Mark Leslie Lefebvre have been in the business long enough to see authors burning out and leaving the writing life because they turned what they love into a hamster wheel of ever more production and marketing tasks they hate. It doesn't have to be this way.

This book is a collection of tips on how to be a more relaxed author — and return to the love that brought you to writing in the first place.

Includes: Relaxed Writing, Relaxed Publishing, Relaxed Marketing, and Relaxed Business.

Like the advice that has most resonated in other areas of my life (parenting, intermittent fasting), Joanna Penn and Mark Leslie LeFebvre acknowledge and celebrate that there's no single "right" way to be a relaxed author. They provide wonderful examples of what has helped each of them, and other authors, be their best, most creative, productive, and fulfilled selves. Then, most importantly, they encourage their readers to joyfully experiment and find what works best for them.
