What is a Book Writing Coach and What Do They Do? A book coach or writing coach is a professional mentor and guide who supports you in writing your book from start to finish. Writing coaches generally have extensive experience in the publishing world as writers and editors. These are some of the ways that […]
As is true of most pursuits, the secret to getting better at writing is not much of a secret at all: do it, and keep doing it until you get better at it. In other words, you must commit to the the dreaded P-word—practice. There’s no wrong way to practice writing, and any time spent
Exposition is a difficult aspect of writing to master, and also one of the most pivotal to the success of your story. Done right, the various elements of your story flow together seamlessly—and done wrong, it can cause the whole thing to fall apart. At its worst, exposition can veer off into the dreaded territories
If ever there was a subject deserving of a two-parter, it’s verb tense. Last time, we gave an overview of the three primary tenses and the four grammatical aspects at play in each of them. What we didn’t do, however, was break down each of the specific combinations of tenses and aspects and their use cases.

Sometimes, we are sure, and we don’t realise we’re wrong until our manuscript comes back from
Writing a manuscript is a long and difficult process. Depending on your scope and your approach, it could take you months, years, or even decades to arrive at a final product. If writing is something you do casually and you aren’t in any sort of hurry, it may be of little concern to you how
The average manuscript is somewhere around 80,000 words in length. If you’re like me and, even in your thirties, are still measuring every length of writing against the 700-word essays you were made to write in high school, that’s a little over 114 poorly referenced essays on topics you didn’t really care about. If those
At a glance, there doesn’t seem to be much of a connection between psychology and writing. What could the scientific study of the human mind possibly have to do with your whimsical tale about sentient, shapeshifting dolphins? In a word … everything! One of the basic tenets of a considered writing practice is knowing exactly
