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.
