There's a mantra that real writers know but wannabe writers don’t. And the secret phrase is this:

NOBODY WANTS TO READ YOUR SH*T.

Recognizing this painful truth is the first step in the writer's transformation from amateur to professional.

From Chapter Four:

“When you understand that nobody wants to read your shit, you develop empathy. You acquire the skill that is indispensable to all artists and entrepreneurs—the ability to switch back and forth in your imagination from your own point of view as writer/painter/seller to the point of view of your reader/gallery-goer/customer. You learn to ask yourself with every sentence and every phrase: Is this interesting? Is it fun or challenging or inventive? Am I giving the reader enough? Is she bored? Is she following where I want to lead her?"

This book will change your book for the better

This book changed the way I structured my book 'Seven Stories Every Salesperson Must Tell' - I found my meta-theme and my opponent thanks to this book. It's not everything you need for a bestseller (you also need luck and a lot of marketing) but I draw a lot of satisfaction when readers tell me that they enjoyed reading my book and read it to the end.

Steven got me with his Do the work book. I credit him with inspiring me to overcome resistance and let in my Muse.

In this work Steven goes deep into the creative process that can be applied in all aspects of your life

I've enjoyed reading this book, it's given me some great pointers on how to go about constructing my own text. Whether thats for short social media pieces or longer blog posts. I like the way it has been written too, easy to pick up and learn.

Great read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 October 2016

Excellent book. Read it in one sitting. Short and punchy, many things to learn. In summary, I would say its message is - keep at it, always learning & moving forward, don't care so much for the odds of success but care a great deal for the craft. Act, try, fail, learn, act, try, fail, learn, repeat again and again till you die. Oh, and if you are lucky enough to succeed, continue with the act, try theme anyway. That is life, or more like, that is the fun in life.

A lot of white space but still enjoyable

I enjoyed this book and expect that I will read it again. However, the chapters were short, with some being extremely short. Funnily enough, I don't feel cheated.

Essential reading.

Bought this to learn how to refine my writing style. My first two books have received good reviews but I'm keen to improve my craft. This delivers on all levels. Sound advice.
