Candid expertise for novelists, copy writers, journalists, memoirists,
creative writing students, and nonfiction authors in a giftable box
format
Every year, nearly half a million people take up the challenge of Novel
Writing Month. This huge event represents the tip of the iceberg: we
love to write, but when we start, we run into the same questions that
have tormented writers since the time of Homer. With 60 practical and
informative cards and a 32-page book, Writing Coach in a Box is here
to help and answer a range of questions: What should you look for when
you're rereading a draft? What are the most common mistakes first-time
authors make? How can you inject excitement into flat prose? How do you
make readers root for your protagonist? What verbs should you avoid and
which must you use? Why should you mix long and short sentences?
This ingenious toolkit answers all these questions and hundreds more.
Drawing on years of successful writing and publishing, as well as
careful study of how-to-write manuals and style guides, Writing Coach
in a Box will challenge, advise, encourage, and inspire aspiring and
established writers. Because the cards address universal problems of
story and style, they won't just help novelists, but instead, anyone who
writes. So whether you want to create better books, blog posts, press
releases, memoirs, news stories, or screenplays, you'll get the coaching
you need.
