H.P. Mallory began her writing career as a self-published author and had early sales success before her books were picked up for wider distribution. That background makes her non-fiction books a natural extension of her work: she has direct, hands-on experience with the tools and processes she writes about. Quit Your Day Job!: A Guide for the Self Published Author, published in 2011, arrived during the early years of the ebook and self-publishing explosion, when many authors were figuring out how to make independent publishing work as a real career.

Speak It Into Existence!, published six years later in 2017, takes a more motivational approach. The title points to a philosophy of deliberate goal-setting and positive thinking as applied to creative careers. By 2017, Mallory had more than a decade of publishing experience and a substantial back catalog behind her, which gives the book a grounding in real outcomes rather than theory.

Readers who have enjoyed Mallory’s fiction and are curious about her process, or aspiring writers who want advice from someone who built a career from scratch in the indie publishing world, will find these two books a direct line to her thinking about the craft and business of writing.
