Do you want to skip the silly mistakes that derail the careers of many new writers? Are you interested in a long-term career that's focused on meeting your real writing goals? Building on two decades of experience as a writer, conference organiser, arts worker, and writing teacher, Peter M. Ball sets out to give the answers most new writers don't want to hear...but really do need to know. You Don't Want To Be Published features sixteen essays focused on the mindset and psychology that lie at the heart of being a long-term writer: learning to treat your business like business, building a network that will help you succeed, setting smarter goals, and dealing with the realities of making your living through your words.
