Informative and Inspiring

When I first discovered Joanna’s podcast I knew I found someone who was both inspiring and informative. This very same book, or in this case, audiobook, an extension of the podcast, does the same. I listen to this whenever I need a push or in a funk. Thank you Joanna for helping me with my own productivity. More power to you and The Creative Penn Podcast!

Highly recommend

Penn gives great advice on many different aspects of the writer's career and how to maintain productivity without burning out. It's a book I'll be recommending to my author friends.

This book changed my writing

Full disclosure, I'm a huge fan of Joanna Penn. I have most of her non-fiction books and have put her knowledge and suggestions to work in my own writing. Besides being charming, she's not judgey in the least. This was just what I needed to get going and stu productive in my book.
