Helping Published Authors Navigate the Marvellous and Messy World of Publishing
Welcome to Savvy Writers
Savvy Writers helps published writers become the best authors they can be. If you're a published author with one book under your belt or a hundred, with a publishing house or self published, you're in the right place. Check out all the ways we can help you below!
The Community
The Savvy Writers' Snug
The Savvy Writers' Snug is a Facebook group exclusively for published authors, both debuts to seasoned bestsellers. I set up this private, authors-only group up so authors had a trusted place where we could exchange insights, get tips, and discuss all the highs and lows involved with being a published writer. To request to join, head to the link below. I don't let all those who request join, but make sure you answer every question to give yourself the best chance.
The Articles
Savvy Writers on Substack
I publish a plethora of articles on the Savvy Writers Substack page, all super specific to the life of a published author. These range from tips on what to do if your books don't sell, to how to navigate the agent / author relationship. Subscribe below to get access to the latest articles and receive a monthly digest.
