About this listen
Imposter syndrome: the uninvited co-author on every writing project. In this episode of Margs & Manuscripts, we’re digging into what it really means to feel like a fraud as a writer, no matter where you are in the process.
We’re joined by Lindsey Goldstein, author of the upcoming novel Gap Year (out February 3), for an honest conversation about self-doubt, comparison, confidence, and why publishing milestones don’t magically cure the voice in your head that says you don’t belong here.
We talk about:
- How imposter syndrome shows up at different stages of a writing career
- Why even “successful” writers still feel like they’re faking it
- The impact of social media and comparison culture on creativity
- What actually helps when self-doubt threatens to derail your work
- How to keep showing up to the page anyway
If you’ve ever questioned your talent, your voice, or your right to call yourself a writer…this episode is for you. It’s candid, comforting, and hopefully makes you feel less alone.
Pour a drink. Open the doc. Let’s talk about it.
