Your true self will handle your writing gremlins - Maria Iliffe-Wood

Your true self will handle your writing gremlins - Maria Iliffe-Wood

Maria’s spiritual understanding and thirty plus years coaching background puts her in a unique place to help people to write and publish their book.

Interviewed by Anne Lewis she talks about:

How Maria self-published her first book and how that led to her starting her own indie publishing press with no publishing background. (See the mistakes made when self-publishing Daily Yarns;    • Self-publishing mistakes  )
How Maria learned the ropes of indie publishing.
How Maria helps people to write and publish their books.
How Maria's writing programs work at different levels of consciousness to help people get their writing out into the world.
How Maria helps people deal with the gremlins and fears that come with writing and publishing.
How to come from love rather than fear when writing and publishing.
How editing is not what a lot of new writers think it is.
The interviewer (Anne Lewis) talks about what it’s like to have her work edited by Maria – she describes it as “being raised on a magic carpet”.

Two things underpin her work with authors. She helps you to:
Find your unfettered and uncontaminated self to handle your gremlins.
Trust your own inner guide, rather than pay attention to the negative noise in your head.
