Project Metamorphosis: Main

Part 1: Why Is This So Hard?

Anything you care about is going to cause stress, and traditionally publishing your first book is notoriously bizarre and isolating. Published authors share experiences with creative burnout, artistic control, imposter syndrome, and other stressors unique to the industry.

Part 2: Recovery & Recommendations

Part 2 of this project focuses on the aftermath of debuting in traditional publishing, including the ways it gets better. Award-winning authors offer tips and tricks for recovery, ranging from getting exercise to emulating your favorite K-pop personas.
