Dramarama summer? Me, too! Here’s to writing into a fabulous fall . . .
Is it just me, or has it been a SUMMER? Between freak horse injuries (two at once, unrelated), our four-year-old dog, Wild, waking up blind for no apparent reason (glaucoma at four… whaaat?!), followed by surgery to remove a tumor on her stomach (not cancerous, TG!),...
Binge-tastic! 3 new Beautiful Writers Pod episodes!
OMG, dreams do come true! In her newsletter yesterday (I was on horseback without the internet—my timing… or rather, my husband’s timing!), Laura Belgray writes that she always fantasized about being one of my guests. “Yup: After having my sights set on it...
Library serenity: Get you some (+ air conditioning!) this summer
Good morning! I wanted to pop in with a short & sweet summertime writing tip from the road. (Mama’s driving eight hours today, home from seeing our grand kiddos in Vancouver, Washington.) ☀️🤓 LIBRARIES! Have you sat down in one recently? The focus is instant, at...
Her dream agent, hardback book release, article in the NYT. Yay!
Don’t you love a good success story? Me, too! Today we celebrate one of our own, Beautiful Writers Group member Clare Frank, and lit agent Laura Yorke (who’s sold many books for #BookMama clients). This, my friends, is an example of how a life-long mission...

New here? A few fun, surprising, outrageous things you may not know about me.
Hi! I’m Linda, “BookMama,” a magical thinker who believes in your big dreams. Don’t think you have what it takes? I’m a college dropout who put six commas in every sentence and went on to write, co-author, and ghostwrite eleven books (two New York Times bestsellers),...
No one’s immune. The #1 thing I’ve learned talking with bestselling authors.
I thought delays and drama had singled me out. Until Danielle LaPorte & I started the Beautiful Writers Podcast, and I learned of the unexpected setbacks many bestselling authors faced. 💚 Steven Pressfield wrote for seventeen years before he sold a single piece. 💜...
Are indie bookstores magical? This one (and its owners!) changed my life.
“Get a f#cking job!” my husband yelled. Job? We’d only met eight weeks prior. Wouldn’t our time be better spent getting to know each other? Duh. As a primarily stay-at-home actor, he had all the time in the world while commercial residuals paid...
