The Writer's Book of Doubt
Yesterday I got my contributor's copy of The Writer's Book of Doubt, by Aidan Doyle and illustrated by Kathleen Jennings.
Impostor syndrome. Thinking that your writing sucks. Feeling targeted by the rejection cannon. Despairing that no one is ever going to read your stories. Lost in Submissionland. Overwhelmed by radioactive brain weasels. The Writer’s Book of Doubt contains practical advice and inspiration for dealing with the problems of the writing life.

I have a short essay in the book along with a bunch of other cool writers:
With essays from: Aliette de Bodard, Delilah S. Dawson, Kate Dylan, Malon Edwards, Meg Elison, Kate Elliott, Lauren Herschel, S.L. Huang, Crystal Huff, Kameron Hurley, Matthew Kressel, R.F. Kuang, Fonda Lee, R. Lemberg, Likhain, Jeannette Ng, A. Merc Rustad, Mary Swangin, Bogi Takács, E. Catherine Tobler, Martha Wells, and Isabel Yap.
It comes out July in paperback and ebook, and preorder info is here:

I do contract editing and many of my clients mention impostor syndrome; do you think this book would be helpful?
