Writing a book is stressful enough but manageable and almost enjoyable as an author (good stress or “eustress”). This is when the creative process is firing and tapping into new parts of the brain and ideas are flowing OR a blank screen glares at you.
A sigh of relief when that part is over and you have to face the next stage after the manuscript is done. That’s when the stress increases dramatically.
Almost all health research emphasises the negative impact of bad stress (”distress”). Typically stuff you don’t want to do. And that’s what the admin of marketing and publishing your book is about. Bad stress.
Scattered notes and contacts, forgotten subscriptions, lost follow-ups. Diving down rabbit holes looking for answers. Typically its because most authors will be in a new and unknown phase and keeping track on what to do next becomes a burden.
That’s what Scoz.app is trying to solve. Keeping a dashboard and resources of all the things that needs to be done on the way to publishing. Order and control. Less bad stress.
