The Writing Community Pushed Me Away from Publishing My Book

The Writing Community Pushed Me Away from Publishing My Book
I never thought I'd put my book on hold, but after dealing with the toxicity of the writing community, I had to step back. From gatekeeping, drama, and unrealistic expectations to the pressures of online discourse, the experience drained my passion for publishing. In this video, I share my honest thoughts on why I walked away (at least for now) and whether I’ll ever return to publishing. If you’ve ever felt alienated by the modern writing and publishing world, you’re not alone.
