I own every writing book ever written, and Linda Sivertsen has done the near-impossible: given writing itself a personality . . . Her stories are cinematic, hilarious, heartfelt, and pitch-perfectwith energy and punch, so often lacking in nonfiction.
Terry McMillan, #1 New York Times bestselling author
From the host of the Beautiful Writers Podcast comes a heartwarming, how-I-made-tale from a working writer youve never heard of, and inspiration and advice from the legends you love.
This book gives aspiring writers and seasoned literary veterans a look into the lives of iconic authors and answers the burning question, How did they do it?!

When her questions remained unanswered by multiple how-to guides, despite how her writing career was now thriving, Linda decided to go straight to the source: her favorite storytellers across numerous genres. So, Linda co-created the Beautiful Writers Podcast, where she began interviewing authors for the secrets behind their careersand, without realizing it, began building a platform of eager listeners who wanted to learn from their shared idols. With more than two million downloads, Lindas podcast has since become a bright beacon of inspiration for writers at all stages of their journeys.
