A FICTION WRITER’S WORKBOOK

Congratulations! You have written a story: You’ve read it to your friends and family and they like it; maybe you’ve workshopped parts of it with other writers. But, what do you do now? Finding the right editor to help you take it to the next level is a daunting task. Many, many books are available to give advice and guide you through the process by giving ample examples of how successful authors work.

A FICTION WRITER’S WORKBOOK takes the approach that each writer is unique in voice and experiences, and it is this voice the manuscript “infant” to “full-grown” book should express. In it, an experienced generalist manuscript editor presents types of writing styles, genres, and a no-nonsense approach to the partnership between a writer and editor. Worksheets designed to facilitate character, environment and plot development are included.
