The Imposter Author: Banish Author Imposter Syndrome

by E Whelly

Hi, my name is Em Whelly, and I am an author who has suffered from imposter syndrome. An imposter syndrome author, as I like to call it. You may be asking yourself, what is an imposter syndrome author? Well, that is what I am here to tell you.An imposter syndrome author is someone who has published a book or is attempting to publish a book and feels like a fraud. I have published four books to date, been on the bestsellers list, won awards and received praise for my work, signed books, and been invited to big events where people came just to see me, yet I feel like a fraud. There’s that little voice in my head that tells me I’m not good enough and that I’m wasting my time.

This book is my journey with imposter syndrome as an author and how I battle it every day. If you are feeling stuck in your own work, I hope this helps you validate yourself and give you the self-confidence you so deserve.

Reviews

[Michael Evans · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is very conversational. The author does wander off topic a bit here and there, and does repeat herself a few times. It does seem more like a presentation than a book. However, this book is very helpful and every author should read it. Not only does it have great advice on dealing with impostor syndrome it has really good advice on dealing with reviews.
