Review: “The Beginner Writer: How to write — and finish — your first book is a great place for the new writer to start and offers plenty of reminders and refreshers for those further into their craft. A valuable resource.” — Sarah Jackson, book blogger
People often say: “I wish I had the time to write a book”, “I wish I could take six months off to write”, or “I don’t have the discipline”.
There are many reasons to write a book.
Some people want to write a book for the same reason that others decide to climb a mountain or join an Ironman competition — it is a challenge, and you feel a sense of achievement when you have completed it. Maybe you would like to be able to tell your peers that you wrote a book. Or you want to become a speaker or consultant and writing a book on your method or ideas will give you added credibility. Perhaps you would like to write a book for your grandchildren, telling them what it was like to live through the Vietnam war or the historic era of Obama’s presidency or the global pandemic. Maybe you want to ensure that your family’s favorite recipes are recorded for posterity.
Whatever the reason, if you have always wanted to write a book, but didn’t think that you could do it, or didn’t know how to go about it, this book will help you get from the blank page to a finished book.
The book covers the basics of writing a book, whether it is non-fiction or a novel, from getting the initial idea, to writing a first draft all the way to a finished book. You will learn how to find time to write, dealing with writer’s block and editing. If you have wanted to write a book for years, but did not know where to start, this book will give you the tools to finally have a completed book that you can hold in your hands.
I want to show you how to finally finish writing your book. To show you that you can take your dream from “I wish” to “I did”.
