"As writers were terrible for feeling imposter syndrome. To say “I’m a writer” is a real challenge..." I once met S. D. Smith. I told him his seminar was really encouraging and he asked if I was a writer. My imposter syndrome was seething from my pores he could smell it. He said, "Repeat after me: I am a writer."

Thanks for reiterating that same message here. It's well received.

Simon - Loving your content! So useful for people getting started on the platform and for book serialization.

This guide is fantastic! Thank you for writing it. I'm thinking of starting a serial here (and maybe on Buttondown or Wattpad) using a book for which my feedback engine of "ask friends" has run dry and "ask strangers" has returned a blank page. (Or rather, a large stack of form rejections.)

Side note: "Make sure you bio isn’t riddled with typos." Was the typo intentional?
