Description

As authors, we spend a lot of time waiting in publishing. Waiting on submission to see if our book will sell. Waiting to hear back from our agent on whether our book is ready for sub. Waiting for your next edit letter, for cover design options, for responses from the authors who might blurb your book.


All. The. Waiting.


Today, I’m sharing a simple 5-step tool to help you make waiting suck just a little bit less.
