This book offers honesty, humility, humor, awakenings, and plenty of nostalgia. There are nine women within these pages that gathered their courage and stepped into their confidence to share part of their stories and became first time authors. These women have a story to tell, and this is just the beginning.
While participating in the New Author Intensive writing experience, they wrote a chapter about why they wanted to become an author. Many of them didn't realize exactly why until they actually started writing. Their stories are warm and inviting and uniquely different as they explore the core reason they wanted to be an author, and as they discovered, it goes so much deeper than simply telling their stories.
If you have ever thought about writing a book you will find encouragement in every one of these stories. Regardless of their topics, there is a common theme that runs throughout each chapter - Courage. It takes courage to share your intimate details and become real with your readers. As you read this book, you will experience the courage of these ladies and begin to feel how their confidence grows with each word, allowing them to reveal their feelings and desires to continue into the world of being an author.
Enjoy this book, and as you read, put yourself in their shoes and think about why you might want to be an author. Sharing your story is beautiful and you are the only one that can do that. Do you have the courage and confidence it takes? Just like these nine women, you may not realize it, but it is there- and uncovering it might reveal a story you never knew you had!
