"I was so excited to see that Conversations with a Writing Coach contains the lessons and writing aids that took me from being an unpublished writer to published with a multi-book contract. Susan's talent for teaching the craft of writing is phenomenal. The lessons are easy to understand and will help beginning writers understand and develop their characters, plots and settings. And not just beginning writers - the workbook is a great refresher course for me as I begin my 5th book in two years." ~ Patricia Bradley, author of the Logan Point series
"I knew nothing about writing a novel. No experience. I didn't have a journalism degree, or journalism experience but slowly, I learned how to write a novel. More than that, SMW madebit fun and doable. My dream became real." ~ A. Wendall, aspiring author
I have read and loved all of Susan May Warren books on writing craft and this one was no different. For the beginner, It offers a solid foundation to story crafting and plan for writing your first novel. For the seasoned writer, it offers a quick, fun read that will highlight techniques that can strengthen your own stories. Her books never fail to teach me something new and push me further. Conversations with a Writing Coach would be a great resource for any writer. ~ Tari Faris, agented author with Books and Such Literary agency.
