Novel Notes

These lighthearted books for novelists invite you on a magical novel-writing journey

Novel Writer's Survival Guide offers everything you need to know, and probably more than a few things you don’t want to know, about writing a novel in 30 days. Invites you into the magic inside your mind and shows you how to make the writing magic happen. It offers a workbook for planning your novel and a road map for your month-long, novel-writing journey.

If you're thinking about writing a 50,000-word novel in thirty days, this book will guide you every step of the way... from novel prep, to actually writing your novel, how to structure and sketch out your novel, to capturing your plot bunnies, and opening your imagination and setting it free.

Novel Quest offers a humorous look at writers writing a 50,000-word novel in thirty days, time morphing, a kahuna quest, the power of wishes, the magic of words, and the reality of imagination.

It invites you on an imaginary writer's retreat in Maui, where the main character, Mocha Latte, along with her adorable Pomeranian, Magi, is on a quest to write a 50,000-word novel in thirty days. 

Writer's Workshop

Writer's Workshop offers books for the beginning writer... (Link takes you to the series page.)

THE WRITER'S MYSTIQUE invites you on a journey into a magical place within you where words come alive and encourages you to begin writing your book.

FROM BOOK PROPOSAL TO A PUBLISHED BOOK invites you to travel a publishing path to find a literary home for your nonfiction book or novel.

STEPS TO SUCCESSFUL SELF-PUBLISHING is a beginning guide through the mystifying maze of self-publishing. 

THE WRITE WAY offers all three books in the series. It's the ultimate, inside guide to getting your novel or nonfiction book published.

Have you always wanted to write a book? Are you in the process of writing your book? Have you written a book and are wondering how to get it published?

If you’re looking for a “how-to” that will guide you every step of the way through writing your book, putting together a book proposal, finding a publisher or an agent, or self-publishing, look no further.

You can turn your dream of writing a book into a reality. Packed full of encouragement, ideas, and inspiration to get you going and keep you moving, The Write Way guides you on a three-part journey, through listening to the muse inside your mind and writing your book, to putting together a proposal that will get you an offer and a publishing contract for your nonfiction book or novel, to self-publishing your book if that's the path you choose.

From finding the right publisher or agent, to negotiating a book contract, to formatting both an ebook and a print book, and seeing your book on the bookstore shelf... this book has it all. It clearly explains what to do and how to do it, and what NOT to do.
