Would you like to learn how to draw your readers in with your blurb and your opening lines so that they feel they have to keep reading to find out what happens next?

Would you like to learn how to craft characters who are so interesting and real that your readers would love to be them and can't help but go through the story with them?

Would you like to learn how to craft sentences, paragraphs, and chapters that keep your readers enthralled?

Would you like to learn how to prevent writer's block?

The Art of Writing will teach you all of these skills and more--everything you need to write a bestseller.

You've probably noticed that your first and second chapters have lots of reads, but the chapters after that have very few reads or votes. You can partially blame that on people clicking on the first chapter just to take a quick glance at it and maybe add it to their reading list. But that explanation only goes so far for most Wattpadders. The real reason is more likely that your story isn't written in such a way that really draws a readers in, almost forcing them to keep reading. But you can give your story that edge it needs to become great just by following a few easy guidelines and learning some key techniques for success.

In fact, if you haven't already noticed, some of those techniques are being used in this description to give you just enough information about something you want in order to get you hooked. And your stories should do the same.

Wattpad is full of writers who have great story ideas but very little training in the skills required to craft an amazing story that really sucks a person in. Which means we end up with endless stories that promise amazing plots but can't deliver on that promise.

Not to worry, though. We're about to change all of that.

So get ready to learn the skills you need to write a binge-worthy bestseller.
