About the book

For fifteen years Ava Sterling wrote bestselling memoirs, speeches and business books that carried other people's names. In this candid book she pulls back the curtain on the craft — and the people — behind the byline.

Funny, thoughtful and full of practical insight for anyone who has ever wanted to tell their story with help.
