Fallacies, Fables, and Fiction:
|
A complete guide to writing
your first book |
|
Most how-to books and guides
on writing specialize in a specific genre, in grammar, or in aspects
of story telling such as character or narrative. What most fail
to do is to give you an overview of all aspects of book writing,
starting with just sitting and writing, to preparing your manuscript
for submission. No matter how many creative writing classes you've
taken, writing a book is a unique experience. |
|
Fallacies, Fables, and
Fiction is a 132 page, 8 1/2"
x 11", PDF that will walk you through the process from how
to write your book, to editing and revising, and finally formatting
your manuscript. Please note: this is an early draft. It has typos and some of the information regarding CreateSpace specifications have changed. |
