This book includes useful advice on not just planning, preparation and organising your writing, but also how dealing with writer's block as well as developing and editing your story. The author has also provided guidance on getting published. Overall this is full of practical information.

We love Lucy!!

As a KU subscriber I download every self help writing book that I see. Some are just okay and I continue to the end to see if the author covers anything I haven't read already. In Lucy's case she's the first person I've read who's covered everything from basic grammar, to layout pre-publication. I found this an invaluable read and it won't be one of the dispensable books I trade in for another.
