Fellow authors, if your book has been plagiarised by a third party site and you're confused about what course of action you should take, then hopefully this book would be a help to you. Hence said, this is just a voluntary effort after witnessing a number of authors struggling to get guidance regarding the steps to be taken after their books were plagiarised by sites like novelhd, teenfic etc. I hope this little effort would shed some light regarding the possible ways we could protect our works and safeguard the efforts we've been putting into writing every update.

When it comes to writing weapons, most authors shoot from the hip--and miss. The Writer's Guide to Weapons (published by Writer's Digest Books) will help you hit your target every time. Firearms and knives have starring roles in a wide range of genres--crime, thriller, war, mystery, Western, and more. Unfortunately, many depictions of weapons in novels and film are pure fiction. Knowing the difference between a shotshell and a slug, a pistol and a revolver, or a switchblade and a butterfly knife is essential for imbuing your story with authenticity--and gaining popularity with discerning readers. Equal parts accessible, humorous, and practical, The Writer's Guide to Weapons is the one resource you need to incorporate firearms and knives into your fiction like a seasoned professional. * Submitted to Wattpad by the author, who is the copyright holder.

In this book, you'll learn exactly what resonance is and how to use it to make your stories more powerful. You'll see how it is used in literature and other art forms, and how one writer, J. R. R.
