AN INTERVIEW WITH ANN SHEYBANI

This is Ann.

“I began my practice as a book-writing coach, not just because I like bossing people around, which I do, but also because I know all of your sorry excuses for not settling down to write your book, because I invented them. In other words, I’ve got your number, cupcake. I may look nice, but don’t  let that fool you. You need to prepare yourself for  an ass kicking. It’s time to blindfold your sorry  excuses for not writing your book, hand them a lit  cigarette, then shoot them.”

We talk about:

  • What rules do you make for yourself?
  • How to cut yourself a break?
  • Redefine what it is to be a writer
  • How do you get things done?
  • Best way to get the work done?
  • What can you do in 10 minutes?
  • What a music video can teach you about writing

 

Let a one-on-one mentor help you get that book out of your head and onto the page. Get started here!
