I’ve just dropped the price on all four of my Beginner’s Guides from $2.99 to $1.99 each.
These short, focused guides were designed for new or struggling writers who want help without wading through a 400-page doorstop. They’re meant to be practical, fast, and immediately usable.
Here’s what you can grab a copy for $1.99 apiece right now:
Beginner’s Guide to Developing a Plot
– How to find your plot problem, build a believable plot path, avoid meandering stories, and keep readers turning pages with conflict, tension, and rising stakes. It also digs into things like the plot cloud, inciting incident, and why your hero needs multiple failures before the climax.
Beginner’s Guide to Basic Book Marketing
– The essentials: landing pages, blurbs, pricing, keywords, basic platform building, and why marketing is more like buying a lottery ticket than winning one. Perfect if the word “marketing” makes you want to lie down.
Beginner’s Guide to Creating Genuine Characters
– Step-by-step character development with templates, questions, and AI-supported examples so your characters stop feeling like cardboard and start feeling like real, flawed people.
Beginner’s Guide to Publishing a Book
– A plain-language walk-through of your publishing options (traditional, indie, hybrid, self-pub), what self-publishing really means, and the basic steps to turn your manuscript into a quality book package.
These are short, targeted toolkits, not massive reference tomes. You can read one in an evening and start applying the ideas the next day—plotting a story, sketching a character, planning your first marketing steps, or sorting out how you’ll publish.
I’m writing three more Beginner’s Guides:
- Beginners Guide to Planning a Story
- Beginner’s Guides to Designing Scenes
- Beginner’s Guide to Author Business
These will all be available by the end of the summer.
