LitPick Review
This book as the title suggests is about M.C. Ryder’s journey through creating and publicizing her books and short stories. She writes about the learning process of putting yourself out there with a book and finding your worth through yourself rather than reviews. This author’s books have been a piece of her which she thoroughly researched prior to writing and felt the feelings of her characters. Her books have been awarded through various platforms and she explains the long road and often random ways she found these accolades. M.C Ryder finds her voice through the experience of writing her books and advocating for them.
Opinion:
I found this nonfiction book to jump around a little bit and go back and forth in time. I feel like I might have been better able to connect with the book if I had read the stories she had written prior to reading this piece. She comments on the stories and characters in her books and how she felt about them, but I wasn’t quite able to connect to them since I hadn’t read about them prior. This gives me a good excuse to read her prior stories because she made them sound very interesting in her descriptions of the characters and stories. I like how she shows that being a writer is not always linear and you might find ways to promote that you had not originally thought of. Trying to put yourself out there is the most important for your book and yourself as an author.
