Harlan Coben Sold 100 Million Books. Here’s His Advice for Aspiring Writers.
Open Book with Anthony ScaramucciShow Notes
He has sold more than 100 million books, but what I love most about Harlan Coben is that he’ll be the first to tell you he still wrestles with self-doubt, and that fear can either paralyze you or fuel you. We talk about why it’s never too late to start, why your first draft is supposed to be messy, and what one of the greatest storytellers of our time has learned about failure, creativity, and having the courage to just get started.
Harlan Coben has over 80 million books in print worldwide. Harlan Coben is the #1 New York Times author of thirty-five novels, including WIN, THE BOY FROM THE WOODS, RUN AWAY, FOOL ME ONCE, TELL NO ONE, and the renowned Myron Bolitar series. His books are published in 46 languages around the globe.

Hollywood thought China represented the biggest growth opportunity in the world, but somewhere along the way, we started changing our movies, compromising our values, and teaching them how to compete with us. Chris Fenton was in the room when those deals were being made, and today he’s sounding the alarm about what America got wrong and what we need to do before it’s too late.
