New book by Steve Kelner

Steve Kelner, President of Ascent, has released a second edition of his 2005 book Motivate Your Writing, with significant revisions and updates and 10% more content overall.

Dr. Kelner is a writer himself, in addition to assessing and developing leaders, and his spouse, Toni L. P. Kelner (also known as Leigh Perry) is a noted author of mysteries. Helping her finish her first book (and second, third… seventeenth…) led to him assessing the motivation and methods of numerous published authors, and identifying key patterns that could be learned by others. Coupled with existing research on creativity, goal-setting, and motivation generally, it became a unique work focused simply on how writers keep writing.

Things have changed a lot in fifteen years, however, including the complete disruption and transformation of the publishing industry. Furthermore, in the course of doing talks, conferences, and discussions with writers, it became clear that while the fundamentals stated in the book worked, there was more to be said. So Dr. Kelner tapped into the things he had learned from writers since, as well as developments in the industry ranging from online publishing to NaNoWriMo, and incorporated them into a new edition.
