Mugging the Muse: Writing Fiction for Love AND Money by Holly Lisle is $0.99
Want to Get PAID for Writing What You LOVE?
In this collection of thirty-one essays, workshops, quizzes, Q&As, and how-to-do-it articles, novelist Holly Lisle — who went pro with her award-winning first novel, Fire in the Mist, in 1992 and who’s been writing full-time ever since (more than thirty novels published by major publishers, and still writing) offers help, comfort, and wry practical advice to the beginning fiction writer looking for answers.
In the second edition of this book, Holly walks writers through Preparation, Practice, Writing & Selling, and Frequently Asked Questions, offering end-of-chapter exercises, workshops, and free downloadable worksheets designed to get the individual writer or members of writers’ groups working productively with publication as the goal.
In this newly updated writing course, you will discover:
Why you want to write…
What you want to write…
Who you want to write for…
How to write only what you love and what matters to YOU…
How to make your work good…
And how to get paid for doing it.
Writing is a learnable skill, not a magical process only those
touched by the Book Fairy, or the Muse, can ever reach.
If you want to write fiction, you can.
