Our guest today: Heather Campbell is a book coach, writer, and reformed perfectionist who helps writers develop tools to overcome their self-doubt, procrastination, and perfectionism so they can create lasting and effective writing habits to complete a novel. She has more than five years of experience working one-on-one with writers. When she's not immersed in fiction, she's running in the fresh mountain air of Colorado or snuggling with her rescue dog, Chase.
