Letters to New Authors

This is the firm nudge you’ve been needing to push you from wanting-to-write to actually getting your work done! 

Is writing the most important thing to you, but you never get any done? Do you write all the time in your mind but never put the words onto paper? Or are you stuck in the middle of writing and can’t see your way out? 

For less than the cost of one venti latte, let Rachael Herron lead you out of procrastination and right back to your desk where the words are waiting for you to capture. 

When she’s not writing her own books, Rachael leads international writing retreats and teaches writing in the extension programs at UC Berkeley and Stanford. 

“With the help of Herron’s advice, a person can stop careening across the writing highway, make forward progress between the lines, and successfully complete the first draft.” Kristine Kay Mietzner

“Simply put, if you have ever struggled to finish a book, if you have a yen to write about a time in your life, but aren't sure how to structure it, where to start, how to get through the middle and across the finish line---THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU.” - Barbara Edelman on Fast-Draft Your Memoir
