by John Scalzi

Award-winning author John Scalzi has lived the dream - and the nightmare. Between 2008 and 2017, he wrote 15 books, hit the New York Times bestseller list, and won major accolades. But he also lost more awards than he won, worried about bills, and battled online feuds. Through it all, Scalzi gave readers a candid, unfiltered look at the ups and downs of the writing life. Don't Live for Your Obituary is a curated collection of his most insightful, hilarious, and hard-won lessons - a vivid portrait of a decade in the life of one of sci-fi's most celebrated voices.
