BREAK INTO FICTION® 11 STEPS TO BUILDING A POWERFUL STORY
How do writers sell novels to New York houses or build a substantial reader base by releasing books as an Indie author?
The answer is: They write books that sell.
Sounds simple, right? But how do YOU write a great book that readers and editors will enjoy? Whether you’re a plotter or a pantser (write by the seat of your pants), Break Into Fiction® is the book that will help you locate – and fix – weak spots (sagging middles, unlikeable characters, slow pacing and more) in your fiction stories. Editing is key to any story, but it starts with the author.
Writing fast means nothing if the final story isn’t sound. What’s the point in having five, ten or fifty mediocre books finished? The sooner you grasp the power points for a story, the faster you’ll be able to build a strong backlist. Now you have a way to improve your writing one easy step at a time.

Great Writing Advice! “This book is fantastic. I completely altered the novel I’m presently writing because of this book. My characters now have better reasons for moving through the story. I also began the story in a different place to make a better initial hook. I’m so glad I bought this book. It’s worth five times it’s Kindle price.”—Dusty Wright
