Hope's trade paperback is: "THE SHY WRITER - An Introvert's Guide to Writing Success." http://www.theshywriter.com . Writers are writers only when writing. After "the end" they don business hats and start the sales pitches to agents, editors, audiences, bookstores, etc. Public appearance is stressful enough to shut down some writers from ever publishing, and a few just quit writing altogether. This book teaches writers how to sell their words without selling their souls. This book aims to teach writers how to live their writing
dream without total sacrifice of their sanity and peace-of-mind.
