2023 International Book Awards Winner & 2023 Firebird Book Awards "Speak Up Talk Radio" Winner

Imagine you're at a dinner party with some of the most successful authors of our time. "Book Mama" and Beautiful Writers Podcast cocreator Linda Sivertsen is the host. As she shares her story of the many hilarious, outrageous, and practical things she did to launch her bestselling writing career, your favorite writers chime in with their own anecdotes, leaving you enlightened and newly inspired. The wisdom in this book will nourish anyone who appreciates the art of storytelling and dreams of living a creative life.

Beautiful Writers is a love letter to reading, writing, and everyone who reads and writes. It's the book Linda wished she had when she was starting out. In it, she shares-and expands on-the best of advice and storytelling from her podcast and follow-up interviews with literary greats, including Terry McMillan, Cheryl Strayed, Tom Hanks, Van Jones, Jenny Lawson, Steven Pressfield, Elizabeth Gilbert, Anne Lamott, Mary Karr, Seth Godin, Abby Wambach, Martha Beck, Marie Forleo, Lee Child, Patricia Cornwell, Dean Koontz, Maria Shriver, Dr. Jane Goodall, Sabaa Tahir, Tomi Adeyemi, Ann Patchett, Dani Shapiro, Danielle LaPorte, Tosca Lee, Joy Harjo, and Deepak Chopra.

Linda’s podcast was my guiding light to self publishing my first book in 2021 and now as I work towards traditionally publishing my second book, Beautiful Writers not only answers ALL of my questions about the publishing world, it gives me the confidence and clarity to make it happen. Linda’s ability to weave the tiny but important details of writing alongside a memoir is remarkable - and it MAKES the book an even better HOW TO because it’s based on lived experience. I also LOVED how she brought in so many author stories rather than make herself the sole hero - because as she says so often, this writing game is a massive team sport (which I truly got with the longest most heartfelt acknowledgements I think I’ve ever seen in a book 😂). “Thank you” doesn’t cut it for what this book has done for me, and no doubt millions of others. I can’t wait to implement all that Beautiful Writers has taught me, and to use it as a guiding light along the way. Thank you Linda!

Can I Give it a 10?!
