And it might seem easier to focus on the nuts and bolts of writing books--word counts, query letters, and author platforms--than the messy feelings that accompany writing like doubt, fear, and hope, but the two things are inextricably linked. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWrite Through It\u003c\/i\u003e is a candid, actionable guide to navigating the rollercoaster ride of writing and publishing, both on and off the page.

From the uncertainty of knowing when you should stop fiddling with your book and start pitching to agents to how to deal with the sting of rejection and the elation (and fear) of getting a book deal, \u003ci\u003eWrite Through It \u003c\/i\u003ecovers it all. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing from her own extensive experience, McKean goes beyond the practicalities of writing and publishing to address the less-talked-about emotional side of the journey.
