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!!! :)

Club Edge-Book 2 "Is there a reason why you have been disturbing my class from last three days Miss Arora?" His scolding tone was enough to make me hot and bothered but when he did that while looking in my eyes, my knees buckled so fast. And yet I gathered my courage and glared at him not breaking the eye contact. "You and me both know the reason Vincent." "It's professor Agosti or Dr.Agosti for you Miss Arora and I won't repeat myself." "Oh...I thought it was Master Vincent last time." The next moment I was suddenly pulled and bent over his desk. His hand holding my wrists and my heart rate going through the roof. "The person in this classroom and the person inside the club are two very different people Lilian. The only thing that makes us similar is that I won't hesitate to turn your ass red whether I am inside the classroom or inside the club." I just ruined my brand new thong as I was quite sure there would be a wet spot on it. But I was happy as my mission of getting his attention was finally successful. I had pushed his buttons enough that he would do something about it. "What if I want you to do it?" "Is that so? Is this the reason you've been wearing these slutty clothes to the college Lilian?" "Yes Vincent.." SMACK! I felt as if I was spanked with a wooden paddle when I knew it was just his hand. Tears formed in my eyes instantly. "What did I say Lilian? What are you supposed to call me?" "Master Vincent.." SMACK! "Fuck!" "Language Miss Arora!" "I am sorry!" "I am sorry what?!" "I am sorry professor Agosti! Please..." My tears were flowing down my cheeks and that's when I realised that I might have bitten more than I can chew... This is the 2nd book in Club Edge series. It is not a standalone novel, you have to read 1st book 'Invisible Ties' first. Warning⚠️:- This story contains graphic sex scenes and bdsm concepts. Dont read if it's not your cup of tea.Complete

The Art of Writing: How to Write Bestselling Novels
[New chapter posted every Friday] 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. ***NOTE: If there's a skill you'd like me to write a chapter about, just let me know***Complete

Nod my Head - A Writing Guide for Wattpad Writers
Do you find yourself writing he nodded, she shook her head, he shrugged, over and over again? It gets tedious, and doesn't help at all when it comes to pin pointing your character's actual emotions. So I've made a book using notes I've been collecting over a few years to help you chose an alternative way to show that your character is angry, or sad, etc, plus many other writing tips and resources. Doesn't, he blinked at his watch, read better than, he looked at his watch ? Doesn't, he slugged across the wet cement, read better than, he walked down the street slowly. Avoid the white room in your story and replace telling with showing to give your readers a much better experience. **** When Alice storms across the room instead of walks, we know she's angry. We're expecting suspense. We're waiting for the next action. Maybe she'l punch a wall? Shout at her friend? Much better than, Alice walked across the room angrily, which gives your reader nothing to imagine.Complete
