213. Settling Your Book Launch Anxiety

from The Author Burnout Cure · host Isabel Sterling

If your book’s impending release has you feeling more stressed than excited, you’re not alone. It’s incredibly normal to have lots of conflicting feelings as you get closer to release day. There’s worry your book will flop. Fear that you’ll disappoint your publisher and never sell to them again. Anxiety that you just spent years working on this book and it might all be for “nothing.” Publishing a book is a big deal, and you deserve to enjoy that process. Today on the podcast, I’m sharing both big picture reframes and tangible tools to help you soothe that “my book is coming out soon!!” anxiety. *** Want custom support to lower publishing stress, increase creative joy, and build a more sustainable fiction career?
