You've read plenty of books on how to become a better writer, how to get unblocked, and how to find the muse, but you've never read a book like this before. Are you ready to deal with and overcome what's been holding you back?
Have you ever felt you were meant for more as a writer, as an artist, and, as a person?
Don't let doubt, or fear, or any person other than yourself decide whether you have a future as a writer.
Bryan Hutchinson was told by teachers he would never be a writer. As a child, he had to take a remedial reading and writing class because he could barely write a full sentence. One editor told him his book would never be published.
And yet Bryan is now a bestselling author whose books have been read by hundreds of thousands of people and praised by experts in the field. His blog, Positive Writer, wins awards and his highly acclaimed, helping writers around the world do what they were meant to do, write.
All writers doubt their ability. But Bryan's story shows doubt and fear don't have to define your writing future. In this part-memoir, part kick-in-the-pants, Bryan will show you how to live out your passion, write a book, and become an author, no matter if the so-called "experts" tell you that you can't.
*Includes additional references and resources, and bonus chapters on publishing, blogging and marketing.
Writer Doubt The #1 Enemy of Writing and What You Can Do About It edition by Bryan Hutchinson Joe Bunting Joan Faith Hutchinson Reference eBooks
I know this book will be one of the few I go back to read over again as I need to. Bryan took me to the root of my writers block, held my hand as Ianalyzed it, and led me on the way to overcome it. Proof? I wrote the best, most honest and authentic words over the last three mornings than over the past year.
I have written this review over several times, trying to express just what the difference is between this book vs. the others I have read. Here is the best answer I can come up with.
The book is written by a person who literally pours his self into his writing. His advice for the fear is to not just ignore it and tell it to get lost, but to write about them, to face them in the writing (without feeling the need to publish) and not let the fear rule. The first morning I wrote after reading the book I wrote about a childhood memory. a hard one. one that I always said I could not write about because it could hurt other people. one that, in the words of Bryan "the more I let my fears rule me, the more they grew and stunted my writing" (loc 421 in kindle).
For years all areas of my writing have been inhibited because of the process he describes in the chapter on "Overcoming your Internal Naysayer". I cut off one part of me, an essential part of myself, and in cutting off that part and refusing to address it the rest of my writing has been stunted. What I have developed for right now is a section to write to that child, to write the stuff that is causing inhibitions, in a place that is for me alone at this time.
Bryan is so right, as soon as I stopped listening to the fear and found a way to confront it that is safe and effective for me I am finding my hands holding my ever-ready pencil and pad or on the keyboard with words flowing so freely. I write to the child and for the child and not always about the child! (does this make any sense or is it one of those "you had to be there" experiences?)
The other extremely helpful section for me is the discussion on the reaction of others to my writing. I have always been a very private writer, (having a people pleaser personality doesn't help), but lately have been feeling the pull to put some of my writing "out there". I am going to spend some time working on this area but there is so much solid help here I am confident that I will be starting a blog very soon. Oh, btw, there is basic, down to earth help on that also in the book.
I am sure anyone who wants to write could find help in this book and grow from reading it. Evan an veteran writer would benefit from a trip back to the raw, open and honest experience of reading the words in these pages.
Happy writing

Writer Doubt The #1 Enemy of Writing and What You Can Do About It edition by Bryan Hutchinson Joe Bunting Joan Faith Hutchinson Reference eBooks Reviews
It encapsulates everything a good indie book should have, even to the very last letter personal experience, authentic voice, an author’s transparency, integrity and genuineness; sound advice and some questionable issues. You don’t feel like it’s a book written by you where you agree with everything. A profound position.
A hero
I can’t imagine a better candidate for discussing writer’s doubt. I could relate well to Bryan because I have experienced similar struggles… however not on the scale he did. When I decided to write, I had no writing experience (Bryan at least attended some writing classes), no authority, and I started publishing outside of my native language. But once I set myself on a writer’s path, doubt did not have a chance with me.
Bryan had it much worse than that… and he overcame everything naysayers, critics, and the internal, ultimate doubt itself! Wow, he is a hero!
One critical remark
I liked everything about this book. Stop! Not everything. In “Writer’s Doubt,” I found one recommendation I don’t agree with, and that’s fine, because we are all different. Namely, it’s the suggestion that everyone should try traditional publishing. I see no reason why. To bleed my nose on the wall? To build up my character by experiencing rejection after rejection? Well, I prefer different ways to develop my character. If I want to improve the quality of my book, I can hire professionals to edit it. I don’t need to sell my rights for pennies and alms (read a meager share in royalties).
However, I only wanted to dispute just a fragment of the book―the rest seemed to be written straight from my heart (but much better).
Rejection
For example, I’d like to mention the idea about positive lessons coming from rejection. Bryan is totally right. When I started writing, I decided to write fiction in my own language. I posted my first short story on the biggest Polish Science Fiction forum and was (rightfully) criticized. My doubt had a feeding frenzy. I realized I lacked a lot in the area of craft. At the same time, I was looking for additional income sources. I knew I have to leave my 9 to 5 in order to live a fulfilled life. So, with a little encouragement from a friend, I switched to publishing non-fiction on . I sold about 10k copies of my books within 20 months. February is the first month when royalties will exceed my salary. If not for that critique, I wouldn’t have been in this place. And I found this kind of writing very fulfilling.
Solid advice
I loved the tone of encouragement prevailing throughout the book. It was so refreshing. Bryan is really a kind soul.
Every time I found some list with tips―whether how to self publish, how to “slay the beast,” or how to develop writing rituals―I found myself nodding. The author of “Writer’s Doubt” has really been there and has done that. Instantly, I felt that the advice came from a practitioner, not a theoretician.
I confirm that writing everyday helps immensely. My doubt has almost starved since I began my writing log in September 2013. Since then, I haven’t missed a day and the beast has almost disappeared.
Bryan’s advice about book marketing was among the best I’ve ever heard. No hype, hard work, and pure grit―this is what gets you results.
I myself have written a book about writing. It is not published yet, but I found so many common causes with this book that it’s almost unbelievable connection and authentic relationships, writing something dangerous, refusing to blend in and conform… I’m convinced that it was exactly those qualities that made the publishing revolution possible, that this is the unfair indies’ advantage over publishing houses.
For writers… and for others
I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone who wants to start writing or has already started, but doesn’t consider himself a writer yet. You cannot get a better book at the beginning of your writing career.
But even a “seasoned” writer like me (1st book published on May 2013, 7 titles under my belt) can get something out of this book. I learned I’m a professional writer. It was a relief because as I said, I wrote a book about writing and The Beast was trying to say something doubtful about my right to do so. Thanks Bryan!
Oh, one more thing. I don’t think The Doubt Beast is a thing reserved for writers only. I think it is applicable to any venture which extends beyond your comfort zone. Whatever your internal voice is trying to talk you out of―starting a new business, a marriage, and so on―the journey Bryan shared will help you. Many of his tips are applicable only for writing, but most of his techniques are universal and will help you cope with every doubt.
And the story for the end
In November 2012, I created my personal mission statement and wrote
I’m becoming a writer
in it. At that time, I had no blog and had never published a single word. At that time, saying “I’m a writer” was too bold for me. It took me 15 months and about 180k words till I changed this entry in my mission statement to
I’m a writer.
I needed external validation and I introduced this change after my 5th book became bestseller.
But I was a writer long before that, I just didn’t know. “Writer’s Doubt” showed me why.
Read it and you will discover why you are a writer, possibly a professional writer at that.
I know this book will be one of the few I go back to read over again as I need to. Bryan took me to the root of my writers block, held my hand as I
analyzed it, and led me on the way to overcome it. Proof? I wrote the best, most honest and authentic words over the last three mornings than over the past year.
