“My advice to first-time book authors is… ready? Write a book! You’d be surprised how many people want advice on how to get a book published, but haven’t yet written the book. So, my advice to you is… write a book. It’s amazing, but I think a lot of people get sort of tripped up by the process of ‘How am I going to get this published?’, ‘Who’s going to buy it?’, ‘How am I going to get it in their hands?’, ‘Am I going to get money from this?’ All of those questions will be answered after the art is created. First you must create the art, and then once the art is created, you can think about the commerce, but if you want to write a book and you want to put it into people’s hands, the very first thing you have to do is write it.”
