Hi! I'm guessing you're here because you're proud of your work, and you don't want anyone stealing it? Yes? Good, because I'm here to tell you how to put a copyright notice on your story so that if anyone does steal it, they're breaking the law and you have full rights to report them. Read on, dear friend :)

I am asked several times each day to read the stories written by young writers here on Wattpad. As there is no way that I could possibly read and offer quality feedback to all who ask, this book is my Advice to Young Writers, based on my own 20 years of teaching writing to junior high to university students, on my 20 years of working as a freelance editor, on my publishing of two nonfiction books, and on the recent Fan Fiction Writing Class I taught online. I hope that young authors will find some good advice that will help them on their writing journeys here. Best wishes to all writers!!! :)

The "unofficial" manual that will help you write better! These are the basic tricks that I use when creating my own stories, with insider tips based on the different things I have observed while attempting to read other works. A short, unbiased collection of chapters that highlight how you can instantly make your stories even better!

This is a guide for people who want to make their writing technically correct, or who want to know what to look for while proofreading.
