Are you a student of literature, a new author, or considering taking a masters level course in creative writing?
Do you know what constitutes good fiction, why some fiction is perceived to be better than others, why some novels end up in print while others don't?
Waymarks for Authors provides an unbiased and practical overview of writing and selling fiction today - the whole caboodle. With myth-busting simplicity, it exposes the forces that truly drive the fiction market. For the aspiring author, it provides over 80 signposts towards the ultimate goal of publication, reveals the true scope of the undertaking, and poses thought-provoking questions for those who think they know the meaning of a good book.
The unpretentious style betrays a deep insight into the world of fiction and a broad knowledge-base, accumulated over many years as both a writer and tutor of fiction. Some writers are inherently better than others, but in the world of publishing, success isn’t confined to the talented, and talent doesn’t guarantee success.
A love of writing is a good start, though. We’re usually better at the things we love. But only when the art and craft of writing combine to become second nature, will that great novel materialize.
The author has been a writing tutor for many years, has served on the committee of a national writing organization. She has a B.Ed. and an MA in creative writing. She has several mainstream novels published, enjoys reading good fiction in many genres, and has a great respect for fiction writers who go that extra mile to produce a well-crafted product.
There are many good books on writing, but this is clearly the place to start.

In this WMG Writer's Guide, international best-selling author Kristine Kathryn Rusch discusses the destructive ways peer workshops and the quest for perfection derail many writers' careers. Listening to critics and academics - amateur and professional - often strips out the joy of writing. And a failure to recognize writing as a business furthers the potential damage. But Rusch offers hope for writers who have suffered at the hands of critique - external and internal - and outlines a path to healing.

Creative writing is any writing that goes beyond the boundaries of ordinary formal, journalistic, scholarly, or technological types of literature, usually characterized by the emphasis on narrative art, character development, and the use of literary conventions, or the different traditions of prose and poetry. Due to the lack of definition, writing such as feature stories can be considered as creative writing, even though they fall under journalism, because the content of the features focuses specifically on narrative and character development.

How many times have you gone through something and said “I could write a book about this!”? Now is the time to stop doubting and start planning! Just as every great meal starts with a recipe, every epic novel starts with an epic outline. But is an outline really necessary? Can’t you just wing it? Isn’t all that time on an outline better spent on actually writing? And doesn’t an outline just pour water on that spark of creativity? That’s what you may have heard…until now! Writing is like The Hare and the Tortoise. Slow and steady will always beat quick and careless.

If you're a self-published author without a large platform or following, you will never be able to promote more than the published authors with huge marketing budgets. But you can outrank them on Amazon search every time! Why? Because 99% of Kindle authors don't know how to increase their search engine rankings in Amazon and Google. But I do - and I'm going to show you how in this book (it won't cost you a dime to implement these strategies).
