Write Like Me: A Guide to Writing Like An Author Who's Already Made All the Mistakes and Learned From Them, #2

By Maria Ann Green

As an international bestselling author I've put together the tricks and tips that can help you avoid making newbie mistakes. I know too, I've made A LOT of them, which is how I learned everything within these pages. There are tips for every aspect of bringing a novel to life, from brainstorming to plotting to writing and editing, and then past it to marketing! Even for the seasoned authors, there are tips inside these pages that can help you optimize the time you have to put words on the page. 

In Plot Like Me you'll find the meathod I've put together on how to plot a novel that has a proven and solid structure that will leave readers rushing through your books as fast as they can. It also includes my outline template that has helped me write faster and with less editing afterward. There are also other worksheets to help you prep every aspect of your novel, which can help speed up drafting. Plot Like Me is one of the most useful books in this series!

In Write Like Me you'll find the tips that I've perfected over years of writing. You will find ways to speed up your writing and how to track that speed too. I'm able to write up to three thousand words an hour, and ten thousand words a day even with limited time to write. I want to help you do this too with Write Like Me!

In Edit Like Me you can find a common list of things to look for - which will help you avoid makign those very mistakes in your next draft as well as cleaning them up in your current one! I also share what I've done wrong a lot, which honestly sometimes it's nice to see what others do wrong and feel better about your own writing. 

In Market Like Me I have a huge list of resources that I find helpful, research I suggest you do to market in ways that work for your genres, and my ideas that I've worked on and tested out over time. I've paid for a ton of things that went nowhere, so I'd love to help you avoid doing the same. Market Like Me is one of the most useful books in this series!

Organize Like Me is a bonus book for those who just like to jump ahead, skipping the explanation, and use the resources I've put together. If you only want worksheets then this is the one for you!

In the full set, Author Like Me, you'll find every tip I have to share - it's all of the single books above put into one, with an extra chapter exlusive to the full book which includes additional tips, writing prompts, and more. 

With this series I want to help you be a faster and better author. Because when you adore writing like I do it's all about maxamizing your time to get more words in, and hopefully making some money on those gorgeous words you've put onto the page.

Maria Ann Green

Maria lives in Minnesota despite the frozen winters. Actually, she prefers snow drifts and icicles over summer and all that sweat running everywhere. She lives with her husband and little family, which includes a couple lazy cats who make great lap warmers. You can usually find her whishing that she lived in a secret cabin in the woods where she could be a hermit reading and writing all of the time. Instead she lives the suburban life where she pretends to her neighbors and the other moms around that she doesn’t swear like a sailor, have hidden tattoos, and love a good glass bottle of wine. She absolutely believes in unicorns and ghosts and hopes vampires and monsters are real too. She's a coffee-in-the-morning and wine-in-the-evening kind of person, preferably with a nap in between. Maria prefers cats over dogs, books over people, and late nights over early mornings. She probably shouldn’t talk to anyone until she’s had her first cup of coffee. And if you ever want to hang out with her, you’ll have to be game for a horror movie or just a quick run to target for two (hundred) little things. Also, you couldn’t pay her to be in her twenties again; Thirties is where it’s at. She's a creative, mouthy, introverted, proud bisexual, highly-sensitive INFJ, Slytherpuff, dork with a sweet-tooth.  Maria devours books, reading mostly in bed or listening to audio books in the car. Writing has been one of her passions for pretty much her whole life. So creativity is a necessity for her, always. After working in the mental health field for almost a decade, she's now living her dream as a stay-at-home writer, kiddo wrangler, professional snuggler, and constantly-tired-person. When it comes to her writing, she specializes in dark and twisted thrillers or gritty, angsty contemporary romances. But no matter the genre, she always prefers writing deeply flawed characters with dysfunctional relationships. She's pretty sure the whole "unlikable character" thing is a conspiracy because every character she loves have been labeled this way. Ridiculous. And because of this, she's pretty much found it impossible to write anything without at least a little mayhem.  Maria will always believe that though not every story is for her, and her stories aren't for everyone, every story has a reader.
