Get the skinny on writing a book that will make readers laugh, cry, or reach for the fireplace poker and hide under their blanket. Editors, agents, publishers, and the paying public are looking to be entertained and/or informed. Not only is it important to provide quality content that doesn't ramble like your father on a tirade, but it is vital to write clearly so that you can hold interest. Your job as the writer is to fulfill the job of feeding the information hole, thereby making wishes come true. Maybe that is a bit dramatic, but you get the point. Do you want to know how to write a book, if writing a book will make you money, and how to get better at writing your book, then you have clicked on the right video.
Book and Writing Professionals, Troy and Stacey, spill the tea on writing a captivating manuscript that will capture the hearts and minds of your readers. Dive into those elements of writing that everyone says, but rarely can define, like "show don't tell" and "watch your pacing."
