In 1978 two psychologists came up with a term that describes an experience many of us have had and it is called Imposter Syndrome.

If you are a striving writer who is also wracked by self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy and have a hard time saying that you are a writer, then congratulations you, like Neil Gaiman, Maya Angelou, Brene Brown, and so many other bestselling writers have felt it too.

Imposter syndrome is not uncommon but it can keep us from writing and publishing. In this show, author Polly Campbell explains what imposter syndrome is and the practical ways we can manage it right now so we can craft a writing career.
