I'm all about the books. Writing them, editing them, getting them published - and helping other people do the same. I've written or coauthored more books than I can count (okay, I can count them: thirty-two). I've published with companies ranging from those so small the publisher answers the phone herself to those so large the publisher has never actually heard of me (I know, hard to believe).
My most popular book, Dojo Wisdom (Penguin), is about getting what you want out of life.
If you're a writer, then you don't have to tell me what you want out of life, because I already know. On the days when the process is working well and you love everything you write, what you want is an editor who recognizes your brilliance and will reward you with fat publishing contracts. On the days when the process isn't working so well, you just want the pain to stop and maybe get some tips on starting your own dog-walking business, because there is no way this writing gig is going to work out.
Pull up a chair, click on some links, see if anything you find is useful. Drop me a line, tell me what you're up to. I look forward to hearing from you.
All my best,
Jennifer Lawler
