About this ebook
Writing a book requires discipline, direction and planning.
In this practical guide, Heidi lays out an inspirational path to publication that will break down any barriers first time writers may encounter along their own journey to completing their manuscript.
Whether you are an inexperienced writer, or writing in a language that is not your mother tongue, or are short on time to write – Heidi has been through it all. When she started writing her first book ten years ago, she had no clue where to begin. Today, she has authored six books and co-authored another – and here she shares the steps she took to get there.If you are an aspiring author or just want to have a go at writing, Heidi walks you through her own process from finding a topic you are excited about it, right through to the resources available to support you in the process of turning your manuscript into a masterpiece.
It doesn't matter what your experience level is, Heidi believes we all begin from somewhere so now would be a good time to start!
To keep the momentum going once you've written your book, Heidi has also written a follow-up in this series called How to Self-Publish Your First Book to guide you through publishing, distributing and marketing your book.
