    About this ebook

    "I am a great fan of Marg McAlister's work, and have been for over 10 years. Everything she writes is simple to understand, and it works if you work it!" Grace Lee Patrick

     

    Write a Book Now: The Busy Writer's MegaPack was compiled in response to many readers who asked for the entire Busy Writer library in one collection. You'll find a ton of information here to get you well on the way to publication.

     

    To successfully write and publish a book, you need to have these things in place: 

    • A step-by-step program to get you out of the gate and running: a take-no-prisoners Kickstart Program for writers.
    • A sound knowledge of the genre in which you want to publish.
    • Interesting, vibrant characters that readers will enjoy and want to get to know
    • A well-paced plot that keeps the reader turning pages, eager to find out what happens next
    • A comprehensive set of checklists to ensure that you've left nothing out (characters, plot, pacing, dialogue, and more)
    • This full collection of Busy Writer books provides you with the tools for every item on the list above, plus a sound basis for popular genres with the addition of Writing for Children, Writing Romance, and Writing Mystery, Crime & Suspense. Many genres have some of those elements: characters are caught up in a romance or trying to solve a mystery. Writing for children can encompass anything from simple picture books right through to young adult books.

    With the Busy Writer's MegaPack by your side, you'll be up and running in no time!
