How to write a novel in the most efficient way by tackling the hardest part before you start to write.

​

This book is an argument to stop and define the foundational elements of your story before you keep writing – which means understanding your motivation as a writer, considering your reader’s expectations, and making sure your story has a solid structure that will hold up inside and out from beginning to end. This clarity is what gives a novel its power and a writer their confidence.

Help identify the emotional wounds, misbeliefs, and behaviors that effect how a character acts.

​

Readers connect to characters with depth, who have experienced life’s ups and downs. To deliver characters that are both realistic and compelling, writers must know them intimately—not only who they are in the story, but also what made them that way. Identifying the backstory wound is crucial to understanding how it will shape your character’s behavior, and this book can help.

There are tons of editing books out there, this one is easy to understand and apply to your manuscript.

Editing your own writing can feel like doing your own brain surgery. After you’ve completed your manuscript and you’re standing at the foot of Revision Mountain, climbing to the summit can feel impossible. It’s hard to look at your own writing with the objective eye needed to shape it into a tight, polished, publishable story—but just like writing, self-editing is a skill you can learn.
