You’re getting started writing a book. What do you want to know?

Use this free, e-book writing guide, Write Your Book Now: A Step-By-Step Guide to Writing a Book and Getting It to Publication to get started and answer all your first questions.

This 28-page guide takes you through eight steps you need to take to write your book. It's a great jumpstart that I wish I'd had when I wrote my first book.

When you’re done you will have a book manuscript and a plan for getting it to publication much faster than if you’d struggled through to figure it all out on your own.
