The next two articles in my The Write Life for You series are about developing the ethos of the author. Yes, it is important to write a great book. It is important to study the craft of writing in order to edit, revise, and rewrite that great book. But the work of a writer doesn’t stop with crafting a great book. The writer must think about his or her career as an author – in regards to what he or she writes and, just as important (if not more), what his or her audience wants.
Part one of the two articles is titled "Building the Author’s Ethos – Part One: Writing Philosophy."
