On his thirtieth birthday, Cindy gave Sean a MacBook and a single instruction: start. She didn't know what would happen. She knew he was supposed to be writing. And she refused to let her husband not do the thing she knew he was born to do.
Writer Dad is the chronicle of the five years that followed. The early years that were more painful than romantic. The doubt, the false starts, the long stretches where the income from writing wasn't enough, and the work itself didn't feel like enough either. And then, slowly, the work paying off. First one book, then ten, then a hundred. A bestselling career built one stubborn page at a time, made possible by a partner who refused to stop believing.
Life's better with the right words. This book is about how Sean found his, and how the woman who believed in him made sure he didn't stop looking.
It's a love letter to Cindy. To his family. To the craft of writing. And to anyone who's ever had a creative life they couldn't quite admit to wanting until someone they loved said it was time.
This isn't a how-to book. It's the story behind the books that became the how-to.
Includes the free Writer Dad Workbook with 14 exercises, the Writer Dad Compass, a 52-week Tuesday Tracker, the Lessons From My Journey reflection, and a Five-Year Vision planner that mirror Sean's story onto yours.
For readers of Sean's fiction or his books on writing, Writer Dad is the story behind the work.

Teave autori kohta
Sean M. Platt has written over 200 books, built multiple businesses, and spent seventeen years learning the difference between publishing and building — mostly by doing it wrong first.
He is the co-author of Write. Publish. Repeat., the bestselling book on self-publishing; co-host of The Smarter Artist Show; and founder of the IP consulting firm Where the X Goes. He believes the best creative careers are engineered, not hustled, and that the most valuable thing most creators own is something they haven't looked at closely enough yet.
Sean lives in Austin with his wife Cindy, who keeps him disciplined, and their dog Fisher, who does not. When he's not writing books, designing funnels, making music, or hanging out with Cindy, you can probably find him in the Think Tank — his daily bath, where most of the ideas in this book were born. No bubbles. Just hot water and his dangling participles.
