Just ten minutes a day could make a huge difference to your writing productivity. That's the message from our guest this week, author, ghost-writer and book coach Nicole Johnston. Using that time to write, without self-editing, can help authors through writer's block she says, with the added benefit of increasing your overall creativity. Nicole has coached dozens of authors to overcome their writing roadblocks, drawing on her experience as an author, and her career in politics as an advisor to some of the biggest names in Australian and UK politics, including former Prime Minister Gordon Brown. It's a fascinating interview.
Also this week, Adrian and Rebecca discuss efforts by Bookshop.org to build a new ebook platform to rival Amazon, and reflect on the recent IPG Spring conference where the issue of the future impact of AI in publishing dominated discussions.
