There are hundreds of fantastic books about writing for hopeful authors to choose from, but most of them are boring, complicated, and bogged down by filler. This little book is brief, straight forward, and easy to understand. I hope it will serve as an easy-to-read manual to help serious writers perfect their craft. I should say right off the bat that I am NOT an expert; I forget my own tips all the time! However, I do know what generally works for me, so I thought I could pass it on to my friends at Wattpad. One last note: this book is for writers who have a basic understanding of grammar and story structure. If you’re interested in more fundamental steps you can take to write a great story, check out the companion to this book!

This is where we talk about writing romance. Everyone is welcome! Tips Corner is an interactive learning format rather than teaching. We all love to read or write romance and whether we realise it or not, are experts and have ideas to offer. There are many 'how to' guides on writing romance so rather than provide another one here, we will learn from each other. There are no right and wrong answers and what works for one person mightn't for another. Hopefully our discussions will inspire us write the stories that attract gazillions of readers.

Are you an author but you can't seem to find just the right cover, write the perfect prophesy, come up with the greatest comeback, or remember that one character's name? Maybe you've been told that your fight scenes are completely unrealistic and you need to do some research. Or maybe you need an honest review of your story, or an editor to help you fix it. Or maybe you need a popularity agent to help get your story out there. Well, this is the place to find them! Highest ranking= 2 in Nonfiction

So, you want to write, do you? Maybe you've even published a few stories (or more than a few, I don't know your life.) It's not as easy as it seemed at first, is it? There are a lot of specific writing skills involved in creating a narrative that you might not have picked up in High School English class: that's where I come in.

I'm not a straight A student on the subject of writing, but however, I have been told various things about how to write a successful book, so here, I'll be sharing with you the things that I've been taught. You don't need to follow these rules, after all, rules are meant to be broken. But, I do hope you'll find these things somewhat quick and helpful! ♡
