Featured Book
 The
Shy Writer
by C. Hope Clark
Finally a book specifically for—and
about—the
introverted writer! As an introvert, I (Kim Wilson) know first-hand the
professional (and personal) challenges introverted writers face. Often the
writing profession requires introverted writers to perform extroverted tasks, at

The
Shy Writer, C. Hope Clark—also
an introvert—shows writers how to create
boundaries, then work within their own level of comfort.

The tools
The
Shy Writer
provides are useful in both professional and personal settings. I highly recommend this book for all
introverted writers.
