Summary

My name is Drew Hayes, and for the past six years I've made my living as a writer. In that time, I've published 20 books, written hundreds of thousands of words, and made countless mistakes - most of which I like to think I've learned from.

Underqualified Advice (and Other Amusing Diversions) is my attempt to compile those lessons and share them with others, as well as have some fun along the way. Half of the book is dedicated to detailing specifics about writing, maneuvering the industry, and keeping fiscally afloat in largely unstable waters. The other half, however, is dedicated to pure fun: essays on extremely specific topics, flash fiction, and some bits that not even I know how to classify.

Even if you don't particularly need the advice, we could all use an amusing diversion from time to time.

Good lifestyle advice.

Thanks for writing Drew.
This is probably the greatest book in terms of readability.
It’s well organized so you can skip the chapters you don’t need, and I’m tempted to say that I would even recommend this book to people not wanting to become writers just to blow some of the assumptions out of the water.
For those of us who are wanting to become writers, I would say this book should be near the first things to read.
