* 🛡️ Red-Team Your Manuscript Against Criticism: Stress-test your arguments with critics who hate your thesis. Refine logic, fix blind spots, and bulletproof your narrative before publishing.
* 🌉 Bridge Divides, Don’t Widen Them: Start with common ground. Both sides want progress—frame debates around solutions, not sides.

Writing about serious subjects | How to Turn Trauma Into True Storytelling
📚 Have you found yourself writing about difficult topics—abuse, trauma, loss, grief, and the like—and then wondered if you should keep going? Maybe you struggled with difficult feelings while writing, or worried that such a story wouldn't find its place on the market. Or maybe you wrote about trauma you yourself faced, but then didn't know how to make it into a publishable novel.
In this video, Colleen M. Story talks about her new book, "The Beached Ones," and some of the difficult subjects she explored in the story. She examines how writing can bring up unexpected feelings, and how fear can play a role in both finishing the story and seeking a publisher. Finally, she has tips for writers on how to determine whether your story is best suited for therapy or publication—and why both are valuable.

I didn't realize I was an author! Plus the cornerstone of your DIY book marketing
📚 Christine Clifton didn’t realize she was an author. She was just writing a book. Did that make her an author? In this interview we talk bout Christine’s journey to becoming an author. Plus, we talk book marketing tips for authors, and how you might use her ideas for your independent book promotion.
Christine Clifton is a Connectrix. She believes that fostering the power of connection – to Source, Self, and Service – is what facilitates life’s flow.
She’s thrived through several mysterious health issues, left a successful 6-figure corporate career, and embarked upon entrepreneurship… all in ways that leave most people scratching their heads.
What Christine came to realize was that the way she navigated her work and life “pivots” was her a unique super-power. She learned to connect within herself in order to make choices that served her, even though they didn’t always make “sense” (to herself or others!).

Tips for writing at home when you are busy | How to be productive with kids
📚 Do you have big plans for 2022 that include writing a book? Writers often try to find time to write while working, parenting, maybe looking after your parents, finding romance, fitting in a social life, and forget getting any exercise. How do busy people get a whole book completed. In this interview, Author Nation speaks with Rachel Van't Land who wrote a book during the pandemic while juggling a busy life.
Rachel Van’t Land is a writer in Seattle, Washington, and the author of Talk Back to Me: A Radical Guide to Growing Up. When she’s not in a staredown with a blank page or telling stories on stage, she’s doing stereotypical things like hiking, drinking too much coffee, and trying to coax her teens out of their rooms.

Point the way for others through your writing |Writing a book about FASD
📚 We discuss Natalie’s new book “Blazing New Homeschool Trails: Educating and Launching Teens with Developmental Disabilities” and give honest writing advice about how to write your first book.
Natalie Vecchione is a FASD parent advocate, podcaster, author…..and most importantly a wife and homeschool mom of two. Natalie and her husband, John, built their family through domestic adoption. Their son, who is 19, lives with a FASD (Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder). He has graduated from homeschool and an aspiring, carpentry apprentice. Their typically developing daughter is 6. Natalie & John have a much different adoption journey with her daughter, as they are very close with their daughter’s birth mom. Natalie turned her family’s unique challenges and journey with FASD from career reinventing into a calling when she and her husband began FASD Hope in October 2020.
Natalie has been an FASD podcaster for over a year. The FASD Hope podcast series is through the lens of parent advocates with over 19 years of lived experience.

Writing about a loved one: Telling someone else's story in your memoir
📚 An interview with Colin MacArthur author of French Toast. Colin talks about writing his memoir as a vessel to tell his partner's story.
😸Colin's Tips
1. Until you write it down, no one can edit it or give you any feedback. If English or writing is a struggle, write it down like you talk. Then get it to a superb editor.
2. Look into the history of your editor to see what else they have edited. Also ask other authors for their suggestions.
3. Look for your local writers' or authors' association. Join and get support from them.

Write your story change a life: Interview with Essi Bagheri author of Shattered Soul
📚 An interview with Essi Bagheri author of Shattered Soul. Essi talks about how writing his memoir helped not only him heal, but how it has helped countless other people with their trauma.
✅Essi's Tips
1. Writing and rewriting your book can act as therapy
2. Have a vision and a goal and write a little bit each day. If you write a few paragraphs a day, you will write a book.
3. You don't have to write your book in chronological order. Write about what you remember best that day.
4. Reach out to media and give them a compelling story to share with their audiences
5. Check out The Publicity Summit https://nationalpublicitysummit.com/ to access lots of media professionals in one place
