How To Pursue Your Dream And Start Writing Today!
Whether you're a blogger, novelist, poet, or just beginning your creative journey, Write Now: How to Pursue Your Dream and Start Writing Today is your trusted, practical guide to becoming a more confident, consistent, and inspired writer.
This revised second edition is based on Justin Cox’s experience as a writer, editor, and mentor. It offers timeless, proven advice based on Justin’s two decades of writing online to help you overcome common challenges and build a lasting writing practice—without relying on fleeting trends or technology that quickly becomes outdated.
As the co-founder of The Writing Cooperative (Medium’s largest writing publication), this book draws insights from Justin’s interviews with over 250 working authors, including Andy Weir (The Martian, Project Hail Mary), Sarah Knight (The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck), and Charles Soule (Star Wars: The High Republic).
