So You Want to Sell a Million Copies

You're trying to write a book but you're not the next Shakespeare - not yet, anyway. You could be. But no one will ever know if you don't get those marvelous words out on the page (or screen). In easy-to-follow steps, Mohana breaks down the process of getting started as a creative writer. From getting past writer's block (excuse of the weak!) to putting that blog to work (everybody's got one), the tools of the trade are revealed. If you've had a story idea in your head for a day, year, (or longer) that it doesn't seem to be writing itself, you may want to take a closer look at this book. Designed as a concise guide for aspiring writers, you'll find here the key principles of how to get started, keep going, and finish a manuscript, all told by a fellow accidental writer who took the long way developing a writer's formula. From query letters, to synopsis, if you are trying to decide between commercial and self-publishing, this book will give you the latest information in sharing your story with the world. With worksheets and exercises to keep you focused, you will get to know yourself again, this time as a writer.
