About this listen

Writing a novel will change your life.

It might not be in the way that you expect, but when you hold your book in your hand and say, “I made this”, something will shift.

The process of getting to that point will light a spark in your creative soul and help you discover unexpected aspects of yourself. It will be one of the things you are most proud of in your life. This audiobook will help you get there.

I’m Joanna (J.F.) Penn, award-nominated, New York Times and USA Today best-selling author of 18 novels and novellas with nearly a million books sold in over 100 countries.

This book will help you write your first novel, or improve your creative process, so you can write more books and reach more readers. It covers mindset, ideas and research, aspects of craft, how to write a first draft, and work through an editing process to a finished book.

Although I shall never meet the author, Joanna Penn, l feel she’s a kindred spirit when it comes to finding one’s own way to get that book written! I love that I can jump from chapter to chapter to listen to advice I need when I need it - more than once 🤓 and it’s recorded at the perfect speed by the author herself - always a bonus.
