Happy February! I’ve been enjoying the bright (yet cold) sunshine here in Portland, and am very excited about the sun not setting at 4:30pm anymore.
I’m also excited because my latest nonfiction book from Microcosm Publishing is currently in the Kickstarter phase!
We’re about halfway through the Kickstarter, and halfway through the goal — and my editor just emailed to say the book just went off to the printer. 🙂 Can’t wait to see it!

So. What’s this new book, you ask?
From Dream to Reality is basically a very detailed, expanded version of the spiel I’d give you if you asked if you could take me out for a beer and pick my brain about becoming a freelance writer. I’m super proud of it, and can’t wait to see it out in the world helping people make a living with their writing.
I love talking about this stuff. The marketing, the business stuff, the money — all that business nitty-gritty is super fun to me!
This book full of juicy how-to-make-money-writing tips, written in a conversational style that’s meant to be casual and approachable, while giving you the confidence to hang up your freelancer’s shingle and start finding those first clients. (Though I don’t shy away from how hard it can be, either.)
If that sounds like something you (or someone you know) would love, go check out the Kickstarter.
And thank you very very much!
