+ Want to read

Many people dream of writing a book but never get started, and this practical guide is meant for them. Written by Chandler Bolt with James Roper and Chelsea Miller, it walks readers through producing a first manuscript, from finding an idea and organizing material to getting words onto the page. The tone is encouraging and direct, aimed at people who see writing as a chore rather than a passion. It offers ways to build momentum, keep a routine and finish a draft despite doubts, so that a reluctant beginner can end up with a complete book.
