The Authority Paradox
Here's something non-fiction writers don't talk about enough: the fear that you're not "expert enough" to write your book.
You've lived it. You've learned it. You've helped others through it. But somehow, when it's time to write the book, that voice shows up: "Who am I to write about this?"
Today's discussion: What makes you 'qualified' to write YOUR non-fiction book? Not your credentials (though those count). Not your degrees or certifications. I'm talking about:
➤ The problem you've actually solved
➤ The transformation you've lived through
➤ The questions people keep asking you
➤ The gap you see that nobody else is filling
➤ The story only you can tell
If you'd like to share in the comments, feel free, because we all learn from each other. What's the real reason you're the right person to write this book? Sometimes we need to hear ourselves say it out loud before we believe it.
