Effective Time Management Tips for Writers

By Irene S. Roth

In this e-book, I outline ten steps that, if followed, will help you to become a more effective and successful as a writer.

Whether you are doing NaNoWriMo in November or just trying to organize your writing projects so that you are most successful, these time management skills have made many a writer successful.

When I coach other writers, I am so acutely aware how easily distracted writers can become from their three main writing goals. They wander back and forth when they first come to see me. But after I have worked with them for a few months, I show them how to be efficient and how to use their time to the best of their ability.

This e-book summarizes some of the time-honored tips that I have taught my students. I have chosen the ten that have made the writers that I coach most successful. They are here in this wonderfully short e-book for your perusal.
