Or perhaps you've written a manuscript that's already been edited to death, yet still isn't good enough? Writing your novel doesn't need to be a painful or lonely experience. Sit with me and let me teach you all I've learned about creative writing tips and tricks. You are already talented if you've written a book or are ready to write fiction, which means half the battle is already won. I have good news, writing skills can most assuredly be learned! This guide is designed to answer the following questions: * What should I consider before writing? * How to write a novel which has heavy world-building elements? * How do I approach edits? * What sells a book to agents? * How can I make connections in the writing and publishing community? * Should I self-publish? This guide answers all these questions and more by giving a personal review of actual author pitfalls and how they were overcome as well as soul-searching questions that'll reveal your true writing goals. Bonus Content! * Author interviews from both traditionally and self-published authors. * Samples of winning Twitter Pitch Tweets to see what agents and publishers are looking for, and how you can grab their attention!
