"The Profitable Author lays out a huge and lively roadmap for turning a writing life into a real business....It mixes tough love with encouragement....showing how an author can build a long game instead of hoping for sudden fame. The writing is direct and warm....Woodhouse talks about overwhelm and disappointment in a way that feels honest while pushing readers to think bigger....What struck me most was the emotional undercurrent. The book believes in authors....like a steady voice saying you can do this if you show up and keep showing up." —Literary Titan, 5 Stars
