Winner Business: Writing/Publishing The 2020 Best Book Awards
One of the most common questions new writers ask professionals is how they wrote their book—what was their process for storytelling? Did they use an outline to plan the book, or write it from the seat of their pants? But really the question should be about the general principles and nature of storycraft—does every part of a story have what it needs to keep readers turning the pages?
Bestselling author and creator of StoryFix.com Larry Brooks changes the sound of the writing conversation by introducing a series of detailed criteria for novelists of every level and genre to refer to while writing, regardless of their preferred writing method. Beginning with the broadest part of the story, the early checklists help writers to ensure that their novel is based on a premise rather than an idea, and gradually hones in on other elements to keep the story moving forward including:
dramatic tension
narrative strategy
scene construction
Readers won't know or care about the process. But what Brooks offers here is a chance for readers to make the most of whichever process they choose, and in doing so cut years off their learning curve.

HERE'S WHY COMPANIES HIRE FREELANCE WRITERS...
Writing is the engine of commerce. In the course of communicating with customers, prospects and employees, a typical corporation generates a HUGE volume of writing-dozens of project types addressing ongoing and virtually unlimited needs.
Yet, in our downsized, post-COVID world, more companies are asking: "Why pay salaries and benefits, when freelancers-offering a range of talent and fresh "outsider" perspectives-give us only what we need, only when we need it?"
