You became a writer to escape people. Now success demands you attract them.
If you're an introverted author exhausted by constant networking, daily social media posting, and turning your private creative process into public performance, this book is for you.
The Reluctant Author shows you how to build a sustainable writing career without burning out or betraying who you are. Michelle Carey, drawing from decades of experience, reveals why traditional marketing advice fails introverts and offers practical alternatives that actually work.

Introverted writers struggling with promotional expectations
Authors experiencing marketing burnout
Anyone who loves writing but hates self-promotion
Writers building sustainable long-term careers
