Whether you’re working on a novel or writing on the job, make the most of your writing time by tuning your process to fit your unique attributes and strengths.

Based on the widely-used book The Writer’s Process, this workbook guides you through a deep dive into the inner game of writing, as it happens in your own head.

If you loved The Writer’s Process, this workbook will help you internalize its practices with hands-on exercises, planning guides, and commitment sheets. However, the workbook also stands alone as a useful guide for writers at all stages, without the companion book.
