Beautiful Writers

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 favourite storytellers across numerous genres. So, Linda co-created the Beautiful Writers Podcast, where she began interviewing authors for the secrets behind their careers - and, without realising it, began building a platform of eager listeners who wanted to learn from their shared idols. With more than two million downloads, Linda's podcast has since become a bright beacon of inspiration for writers at all stages of their journeys. Now, in Beautiful Writers: A Journey of Big Dreams and Messy Manuscripts - with Tricks of the Trade from Bestselling Authors, Linda shares - and expands on - the best of advice and storytelling from the podcast and follow-up interviews with literary greats, including:Terry McMillanCheryl StrayedTom HanksVan JonesJenny LawsonSteven PressfieldElizabeth GilbertAnne LamottMary KarrSeth GodinAbby WambachMartha BeckMarie ForleoLee ChildPatricia CornwellDean KoontzMaria ShriverDr. Jane GoodallSabaa TahirTomi AdeyemiAnn PatchettDani ShapiroDanielle LaPorteTosca LeeJoy HarjoDeepak ChopraWrapped around the page-turning, magical, and wonderfully relatable account of the highs and lows of her own career writing bestselling, award-winning books for herself and others, these stories from the trenches are packed with suspense, laugh-out-loud humor, and raw honesty.
