You CAN Get PAID to write short stories!

As a new writer, I wanted to write short stories. 

I scoured the bookshops, but couldn’t find anything to teach me how to write them. I read gazillions of short stories and bought a ton of books on writing, but still couldn’t find anything specifically geared toward writing short stories.

It was a hard slog; without even a little bit of guidance, I felt like I was drowning. Even today, there is virtually nothing available that focuses totally on short story writing.

And let’s face it, writing short stories is completely different to writing novels, or any other form of writing. It’s a specialised area, and if you don’t understand the concepts, you just won’t sell your work. (And that’s what we’re all aiming for, right?) 

After earning more than $500 on the sale of just one story, I decided to write the book that I needed back in those early days.

I don’t know about you, but I’m one of those people who learns by doing, not being told, so the book was written as an interactive workshop – you will work your way through using the summary and exercise in each section.

You will be guided through every stage of writing your story, learn to brainstorm better outcomes, build realistic characters, give your character a unique voice, prepare your manuscript, and much, much more. I will teach you to:  

• Create Memorable Characters
• Create Authentic Settings
• Fit your Character to his/her Surroundings
• Physical Appearance vs. Imagination
• Write Realistic Dialogue
• Use Action Tags
• Find Outstanding Ideas
• Use Point of View
• Write Dazzling Opening Sentences
• Use Emotion, Conflict, and Motivation (and the differences between them)
• Write a Twist at the End
• Create Stunning Titles
• Show, Don’t Tell – that annoying term that comes up all the time, but no-one ever bothers to explain

I’ve also included many of my ‘secret formulas’ and my thoughts on marketing and setting goals. I’ve even provided some markets to get you started. Using snippets from my own work as examples, I show you exactly how I do it. There’s no technical jargon or incomprehensible information; it’s all explained in a way that is easily understood.

If you’re looking for a book that will simply tell you what to do, you’ve chosen the wrong book!

This book could easily have sold for $29.95 – even more, but I’ve chosen to keep it affordable for all writers at all income levels.  (Why? Because when I was starting out, I simply couldn’t afford the tools I needed; I don’t want to put anyone else in that same position.)

For less than the price of a coffee, this could be what you need to kick-start your writing career!
