If you’re going to become a full-time author, by the time you get there, you will have thousands of people (if not more) who hate you and your work.

You'll also probably deal with endless rejections to literary magazines and not get other opportunities that smaller authors following the traditional path get (interviews, speaking gigs, etc.)

This is a guide to deal with all of it. One of the worst things that you can do as an author is to get thrown off your path (momentum) by random idiots online.

Easier said than done!

I’ve spent hundreds of hours trying to talk to haters online and reason with them.

This video shows the best techniques to prevent attacks in the first place, and what to do when they do come.
