"Poetic and practical, inspiring and hands-on, Sage Cohen writes like the good friend who actually wants you to succeed. Prepare to be inspired--and prepare to get to work. Whether you're a new or seasoned writer, this book will push you to your potential." --Ariel Gore,author of How to Become a Famous Writer Before You're Dead"Sage Cohen marries her lucid poet's eye and her strategic business mind together in The Productive Writer, the most supportive book on writing productivity I've read in ages. Whether a fly-by-night creative or a ducks-in-a-row organizer, a brand newbie, or a stuck professional, every writer will find tools, templates and compassionate wisdom in this magnificently helpful read." --Jordan Rosenfeld, author of Make a Scene: Crafting a Powerful Story One Scene at a Time"This book is an essential tool for every writer. From those just starting out, to those on the bestseller list, Sage Cohen offers tools that will help you do what you do better. The Productive Writer may be the most practical writing guide out there. I have my copy. Now go buy yours." --Chelsea Cain, New York Times Bestselling author"While Sage offers tips on the nitty-gritty of productivity -- everything from tracking your time to organizing your bookshelves -- she goes way beyond that to address such important topics as how to build your platform, overcoming fear, and how to THINK more productively. I'm a productivity freak, and I came away from this book with a ton of actionable ideas. Even better, Sage's writing style is delightful. I recommend The Productive Writer to everyone who wants to write, whether for a hobby or for a living." --Linda Formichelli, author of The Renegade Writer: A Totally Unconventional Guide to Freelance Writing Success."The Productive Writer is one of those great books that is a compilation of advice that takes writers step by step through the process of becoming published, while at the same time teaching how to maintain balance in daily life as it lends courage to express something deep within you. More than a how-to-write book; this volume fills in the gaps of what you need to know about living as a writer. The book is chockfull of check lists and exercises and whiz-bang explanations that make writing feasible, fulfilling, and, dare I say, fun."  --Jessica Morrell, author of six books, including Thanks, but This Isn't for Us, A (sort of) Compassionate Guide to Why Your Writing is Being Rejected
