Keeping it Real on Purpose

Overcoming Imposter Syndrome to Write Authentic Fiction


Listen Later

Do you ever look at a finished manuscript and secretly fear you’re not a "real" writer, despite the evidence?

I am joining The School of Fiction with host Matt Posner as I share some ways to tackle the most paralyzing fear for creatives: Imposter Syndrome in the Fiction Writer. Edna White, joins a panel of writers across diverse genres to discuss this universal struggle.

We dive deep into:

  • The Internal Critic: Why writers—especially those just starting or switching genres—feel unoriginal or fear public judgment.
  • The Paralysis of Perfectionism: How the Imposter Cycle leads to writer's block and procrastination.
  • Actionable Strategies: Practical, genre-agnostic tools for shifting self-perception, separating facts from feelings, and showing up at the page with confidence.


If you struggle with the doubt that prevents you from finishing your novel or hitting "publish," this conversation offers the validation and strategies you need to reclaim your power as a storyteller.
