In this episode, you will be reminded that imposter syndrome is a common phenomenon in the writing community. You will hear a collection of vulnerable/authentic stories from published authors, agented authors, and querying authors who all navigate imposter syndrome. If you experience imposter syndrome, we hope that these stories help you see that you are not alone. And, this episode will remind you that Imposter syndrome is not a syndrome. It’s a common human experience that we feel as we try to figure out who are and where we fit into the world/the writing industry.
(Trigger warnings: This episode includes disclosures of experiences of depression, cancer, suicidal thoughts, substance abuse, anxiety, and more. These areunfiltered stories from real authors and creators.)
