Julie’s Thoughts:

I agree with Susan May Warren. I wish I had this book when I first started. Sharon has a way of presenting every possible thing a writer needs to know, including up-to-date information and connections, in a very easy way to understand. She covers everything, including finding out what your personality type is and how to use it in your writing journey. I think that’s a real stand-out, and she includes quizzes on many steps of the writing journey to help gauge where you are at.

She’s very generous with her resources, including the Appendix where she shares her non fiction proposal. There are summaries for each chapter. Even through her writing you can tell she’s a great encourager.

I recommend Authorpreneurship for anyone wanting to make writing a career, or if it is their passion. She gives the tools to make your writing plans a reality.
