I like reading Jeff Goins' blog and excitedly jumped at the chance to read and review his most recent book You Are a Writer. I went through Jeff's writing tutorial email course last winter and it pushed me to write and publish my ebook Finding Joy in Depression.

You are a Writer by Jeff Goins

I like Jeff's writing style. He's straight to the point without a lot of fluff and he's funny. Even better, he gives practical tips and is inspirational. Here's just one example of how Jeff inspires:

Remember: The fear of something is always scarier than the thing itself. Yes, there is pain and rejection. But the greatest failure is to never risk at all.

Jeff gives a lot of great information about building a platform, a brand, and channels. He includes really helpful sample letters near the end of the book.

You Are a Writer is a must have for anyone who wants to do something with their writing – from bloggers to book authors and more.
