Overcoming perfectionism in writing – author panel discussion

Do you ever feel like overcoming perfectionism in writing is impossible? You’re not the only one. Many first-time authors get stuck revising the same sentences over and over. But here’s the truth: your first draft isn’t supposed to be perfect—it’s supposed to get your ideas out of your head and onto the page.

Writing a book is a journey. It will challenge you, grow your voice, and shape your message. The most important thing you can do is keep going, even when it feels messy. That’s how you build something worth refining.

If overcoming perfectionism in writing feels too hard to do alone, Biz Book Pub Hub offers guidance from editors, marketers, and peer authors ready to help. I’ve gathered a group of experienced professionals who can support you through every stage of the writing process. Visit www.BizBookPubHub.com to explore free resources and meet Hub Partners who can help.

Each of our guests has had their own journey overcoming perfectionism in writing. You’ll hear how they learned to move forward without waiting for perfect.

Greg Davis wrote “Checkmate: Tips & Lessons to Help You Make the Right Moves to Achieve Happiness!,” a practical and heartfelt guide that blends life lessons, financial wisdom, and personal stories to help you overcome obstacles, pursue your passions, and make the right moves toward lasting happiness.

Joy Rains wrote “Meditation Illuminated: Simple Ways to Manage Your Busy Mind,” a clear, practical guide that helps busy minds learn to meditate with ease, offering accessible techniques, step-by-step instructions, and timeless wisdom to reduce stress and build a lasting practice.

Kim Groshek is the author of “365 Days of Pause & Abundance: Practical Daily Tips & Wisdom,” a daily guide that helps entrepreneurs and leaders cultivate intentional moments of stillness to spark clarity, creativity, and sustainable success—one mindful pause at a time.

Please join me in welcoming Greg, Joy, and Kim.
