Love to Write!? I’ve Got Three Great Resources for YOU!

I’ve been reading the blog at My Book Therapy for a while now. It always has practical teachings you can apply to your work of fiction. Just reading the blog and participating in the NING group is a great way to improve your craft, but if you need some indepth critique, I suggest My Book Therapy services.

Meet the Therapists: Susan May Warren, Rachel Hauck and Sarah Sumpolec

I am really excited about the book From the Inside…Out: Discover, Create and Publish the Novel in You by Susan May Warren. I’ve had the privilege to sit in her writing workshops and get to know her a little better via email and conferences and I can tell you she’s an awesome teaching with a heart to help writers. Even if I didn’t know what the book was about, I’d buy it! I have learned so much from whatever she’s teaching. Here’s a little blurb about her book:
“Have you always wanted to write a novel, but didn’t know where to start? This book is for you. With proven techniques, easy to understand explanations and practical steps, From The Inside…Out will teach you how a story is structured then take you through the process of creating and marketing your novel. Topics include: Character-driven plotting, How to HOOK your reader, The elements and flow of SCENES, How to build STORYWORLD, Secrets to Sizzling Dialogue, Proven Self-Editing techniques, Synopsis and Query letter writing, How to manage your writing career …and everything in between!”

I’m not too familiar with the Book Thearpy’s Blog a Book, but it seems like fun! Here’s what the gals have to say!

“Here at My Book Therapy, we love to write, and we love to teach writers how to find their voice. So, in 2009 we’ll be writing a book together!   Starting in January, we’ll create characters, a plot, develop conflict, the black moment, the epiphany and finally…the happy ending.  Then, week by week, you’ll be a part of the creation process, voting on the next step of our hero’s journey, watching the book take life, and learning the nuances of crafting a story. You’ll Blog-A-Book with the My Book Therapy authors and get tools to help you how to write your own novel.

And, at the end of the year, we’ll have a book we’ve all created, something that we’ll publish!  And, best of all, the proceeds will go to support IJM, an organization that fights human trafficking around the world.  I’m really excited about our new project, and can’t wait to see what the collective mind put together.  So, Come and Blog-A-Book.  Learn.  Fellowship.  Bless.”
