Writing Invisible offers no secret formulas for success in commercial fiction. No empty positivity on how you'll make it in this business if you try hard enough. No step-by-step directions on craft, marketing, or publishing. And only two guarantees. Pursuing an author career will eventually break your heart, but writing another book you love never will. What Writing Invisible does offer is a different picture of success in the genres. Through authentic reflections on her own career, honest advice, and grounded observations on how the stories of her heart interact with the commercial book market, the author publishing as both Noelle Adams and Claire Kent highlights how she has managed to stay out of the spotlight while building an author career over thirteen years, two pen names, 136 books, and more than three million dollars in writing income.

That maybe, in the middle of a book market filled with noise, with loud voices, with conflicting expectations, with more focus on packaging than stories, and with endless amounts of stuff, it’s possible to craft a career that still and always holds story at the center. Maybe it’s possible to not buckle under the pressure of shaping yourself into one of the personalities that’s marketable online. Maybe you can find readers without hauling around all the extra baggage that’s treated as a requirement for a successful career. Maybe it’s possible to be mostly invisible. And just write.
