The five fatal mistakes I’ll share with you here are not issues of spelling or grammar or style or technique. Having those elements right is important, for sure, but those issues aren’t the aspiring author’s real enemies.
The five fatal mistakes don’t involve finding your writing voice, learning to speak to your audience, or writing with active verbs. Those are important, for sure, but those matters aren’t the aspiring author’s real enemies.

Writing Coach, Joel Hughes
I am an incessant creator. That’s one reason why my wife, Rebekah, and I founded and direct Rebekah's Hope (www.rebekahshope.org). We produce authentic, hope-filled media that help cancer fighters find hope for their battle.Â
I’m also the owner/developer of Springboard Books (www.springboardmethod.com), the author of nine books, the producer of an award-winning documentary called A Brave Hope, and a regular contributing editor on advancedbreastcancer.net. I’ve been writing personally and professionally for more than 20 years. (“Incessant creator” fits, doesn’t it?)
I hold degrees in graphic design, theology, and philosophy.Â
