Turning Pro is an instruction manual that will help you create the work you were meant to do by making the choice to stop being an amateur and dedicating yourself to your calling.

There are many different ways to frame the creative struggle of trying to fulfill our potential.

But for Steven Pressfield, the key dividing line between creatives is that between the amateur and the professional — and it has nothing to do with money or fame.

Pressfield is best known for his novel The Legend of Bagger Vance, which he did not publish until he was 52.

It was only when he realized he'd been avoiding his true calling that the author decided to take writing seriously.

Building on previous non-fiction books The War of Art and Do the Work, Turning Pro is a call to stop running from yourself and commit to doing what you were meant to do.
