Become A Writer: A Step-by-Step Guide

Great informative book. It deals with all aspects of writing and is an invaluable addition to anyone interested in writing. Great for dipping in and out of. I wouldn't be without mine now. Big thank you to Ann Evans for this really helpful book.

I have many books on writing but this is the only one that gives such practical advice. It covers writing for magazines, writing fiction, story structure, why characters appear wooden, viewpoint, tense, approaching an editor, story structure, short stories and much more. The advice is concise, no flim flam! The author knows what she's talking about, having had 20 books published as well as countless magazine articles. I wish I'd bought this ages ago.

I'm going to put this in very simple termsI've written for years, but never achieved much success despite writing business proposals by day.Following Ann Evan's advice I've won an international award and signed a three book deal with a well known British publisherif you're serious about becoming a writer - and getting your work successfully into the world then YOU NEED THIS BOOK. it's an investment in your future. Doesn't matter how good of a writer you are (or think you might be!), this book will help you get even better... whether it's a refresh or new learning.

As an experienced Creative Writing facilitator I am always on the lookout for guides both for developing writers and also for myself - to brighten up my drawer of stimulating ideas and exercises. Anne Evans has provided something for everyone in this well laid out and inspiring volume. I would thoroughly recommend this book for anyone who is engaged in the task of becoming a writer or inspiring others to write.

This book gives lots of simple, easily digestible advice for anyone starting writing as a new career as well as to writers with practice. It also tells the tale of a writer who has 'been there' and has worked hard to become incredibly successful. An excellent guide to how to graft at the craft to get the success all writers crave.

Excellent book for those wishing to pursue writing as a career/hobby. This step by step guide is a really helpful tool to progress through each stage of writing.

This short practical guide to writing is full of suggestions, exercises, words of wisdom from established writers, and tips. Maybe the best tip is in chapter one: 'The only way to become a writer is to write - and keep on writing.' This book should help any aspiring writer get started (and keep going).

This is an excellent dip in and out guide for anyone who wants to be a published writer. Full of tips, advice and writing exercises, the writer shares the secret of how she herself became a published writer. Definitely worth buying.
