Battling the Doubt Monster: Ignoring Nellie the Naysayer

By Aliza Mann, @AlizaMannAuthor

Part of The Writer’s Life Series

JH: Self-doubt happens to most writers, but there are things we can do to get past it. Please welcome Aliza Mann to the lecture hall today to learn how to banish the doubt and get on with our writing.

Having developed a preoccupation with reading as a small child, Aliza’s mother would literally have to bribe her to go outside and play with her friends. After finding her first romance novel abandoned at a Detroit bus stop when she was fourteen (probably a little too young, but nevertheless), Aliza read it and was instantly hooked. Aliza lives in Michigan with the man of her dreams. Her youngest son is living in Ohio on a college campus, where he had obviously lost his mother’s phone number. Her smart and kind daughter is an entrepreneur and runs several businesses alongside her husband, a wonderful man who loves Harry Potter. When Aliza is not writing, she can usually be found on Twitter or taking hikes through her neighborhood. She loves trucks, movies that bring her to tears, baking, and Scrabble. Aliza is represented by Sara Megibow of KT Literary.
