There’s a stereotype of writers and editors working late into the night for a reason.

Writers, when do you get your best work done?

Sit down and start writing. Do it now. Do it every morning while you sip your coffee. Make a date with your laptop or preferred writing instrument and protect that writing time. Just do it.

With our team scattered from Atlanta to Chicago, you’d think it'd be hard to keep everyone on the same page (pun intended)! TBH we excel at this asynchronous thing.

But it is nice to sit down together and get sh*t done, fueled by coffee and pastries.

We know it takes a LOT of coffee to publish a book, but we were curious just how much each of us starts the day with. Turns out we have similar caffeination requirements!

Writers, how much coffee do you think it took to write your book?

When I started writing my novel, I followed the guidelines I’d been taught: 1” margins, size 12 Times New Roman, etc. But there are much easier and more beneficial ways to style your manuscript.

How to (Really) Format Your Manuscript
Some publishers specify guidelines. There’s plenty of general advice out there about margins, font, etc. But have you tried using styles?

A little louder for the people in the back:
CONTENT ORGANIZERS ARE BETTER THAN OUTLINES.

Ahem. We'll get off the soapbox.
