I show you my experiences selling 100,000 copies of my own children’s books to help you master: - Social Media and Advertising - Increasing Visibility - Book Prices and Profits - And Much More! I left my job in 2018 because I made more money writing and self-publishing children's books (picture books, chapter books, middle grade novels) than working full time for someone else.

Determined to change my life, I set out on a path to live the one I always imagined for my family. I tell you ...

While writers might disagree over showing versus telling or plotting versus pantsing, none would argue this: If you want to write strong fiction, you must make your readers feel. The reader's experience must be an emotional journey of its own, one as involving as your characters' struggles, discoveries, and triumphs are for you. That's where The Emotional Craft of Fiction comes in. Veteran literary agent and expert fiction instructor Donald Maass shows you how to use story to provoke a visceral and emotional experience in readers.

Soothe your inner critic and start writing. So, you want to write a book... Maybe being a published author is your lifelong dream. Or maybe you’ve recently been inspired to put pen to paper (or fingers to your keyboard). But when it comes time to sit down and actually do the writing, you freeze. What if my idea isn’t any good? What if I’m a terrible writer? What if no one wants to read what I put out there? What if I get nothing but one-star reviews on Amazon? And just like that, the notebook is closed, and writing a book is nothing more than a distant fantasy. Sound familiar? Well, ...

Are you ready to take the plunge into publishing your book? Not so fast. The difference between a poorly written book and a publication that can capture hearts, change lives, entertain, or inform lies in the words. Your job, as author, is to get the words in the right order. Every. Word. Matters. First-time authors, and even veteran writers, go down rabbit holes with their writing, and sometimes it’s the editor who helps dig them out of those traps. Nothing like an amateur blunder to label your manuscript substandard. Amateurish. Real writing takes place after you have the bones down ...
