Finally, someone’s written the book for creative people who need to use their time to care for loved ones. How do you set aside perfectionism and guilt? Fan favorite Donn tells us how! 

Donn King is an author, podcaster, and communication coach who helps writers and speakers say what they really mean without losing the personality that makes them worth listening to. A longtime professor turned publishing sherpa, he blends clear storytelling with a warm, wry voice that leans more Anne Lamott than corporate handbook. Through his books, his podcast The Alignment Show, and his teaching, he helps people live and create in courageous alignment with their values. His latest book is entitled Creating While Caring: Practical Tips to Keep Creating While Caring for a Loved One.
