Aspiring doctors have medical school. Karate students have belts of different colors. Pianists have scales and arpeggios. But what system do writers have for getting and staying "in shape," to help them focus, practice, and make progress? A Writer's Workbook is Caroline Sharp's ingenious collection of exercises to inspire, encourage, warm up, and jump-start anyone who writes. A wise and funny friend who will cheerlead you through even your darkest can't-write days and "every idea I've ever had is awful" nights, she provides encouraging suggestions, hilarious observations, and an amazingly vivid catalogue of writers' neuroses (with advice on overcoming them, of course). From "Roget's Resume" and "Emulating Ernest" to "End Well," "The Rewrite Rut," and "Dear John," the exercises in this generous, wry workbook will keep your ideas fresh, your mind open, and your pen moving.

From the Author of the Internationally Bestselling Books - Red Herrings & White Elephants, What Caesar did for my Salad, Shaggy Dogs, Pop Goes the Weasel, They Laughed at Galileo: Over the years I have often been asked, by unpublished writers, how they should go about finding a publisher. I am also often asked the question, 'what should I write about.'And, whilst that is irritating; the chief reason being, 'That's your job, ' it is still a good question. (The main thing a writer has to do is to have the idea in the first place.) The answer, of course, is something that other people, your readers, will want to buy and then read and there are very simple ways to find out what that might be. To start with a writer has to consider their reader and what interests them. Can you come up with a book idea that will appeal to an 80 year old lady, a fifteen year old boy, a 25-year old girl and a middle aged man all at the same time? Because that is what you need to do, find as wide an audience as possible. Books about left handed, Norwegian badminton players will not enjoy big sales. A couple of years ago I was in a small, artistic town in South Africa and found myself at a table of half a dozen would-be writers who were all asking me those same questions, and more. And I had the answers because there are professional techniques and habits that a writer must adopt and over the years it seems I have adopted them, possibly without realising it. Somebody then said, 'you should be teaching this. We don't know any of this, no wonder I can't get a reply from a publisher.' And this made me stop to think for a while. He was right, they didn't know any of this, but it was actually all quite simple. He was just doing all the wrong things. (Lesson number one - Nobody is really interested in your own life story. Unless you are Nelson Mandela) So I began to explain how to find an idea that a top publisher might be interested in commissioning. A subject they would see they could sell to as many people as possible. The questions kept coming and I began to start thinking that maybe I should offer a professional writer's workshop and start sharing all this inside knowledge with as many people as possible. But one thing prevented me. It was fear! I was afraid that no-one would turn up or be interested in what I had to say. The same thing that most writers are afraid of.So I asked my long time friend and illustrator Ama Page, who is usually quite blunt with her advice, 'What would you say if I set up a writer's workshop and started sharing the tips, techniques and habits I have picked up over the years, ' I expected her to say something along the lines of, 'don't you think that's a bit self indulgent or presumptuous.' Or perhaps, 'hark at you Mr Know-It-All, but instead she replied, 'What would I say? It's about bloody time too is what I would say.' That took me by surprise. 'Are you sure, ' I said, 'would anybody really turn up?' 'They better do, ' she told me. 'After all, you know how it all works.' And I suppose I do. After fifteen years of working with Random House, Harper Collins and, for the larger part, Penguin Books I must have picked up something along the way.So, I had been firmly encouraged to share my experiences as a professional writer with those who would like to also follow that particular path. Now, with five successful workshops behind me, I have also been encouraged, by Kindle Direct Publishing, to share those experiences on a much wider scale by releasing what are essentially the workshop notes that I give to all my writers (as I like to call them) in the form of this ebook.I can only now hope this encourages you to develop the correct habits and to target the paying markets in a professional way. In about two hours reading time you should certainly be better equipped to do so. - Albert Jac

Is it possible to learn to write with talent or is writing only for a select few? Why does the ability to express your thoughts and ideas beautifully give you inner freedom? A story, a piece, a novel-every literate person can write. Whether it can be read is another matter, but that's another story. Not all violinists are Paganini, but not all writers either are Shakespeare. Nevertheless, their books are on the shelves and many authors receive huge royalties. Fortunately, literature is not mathematics, where you cannot start studying new material until you master the previous material. In literature, you can take useful knowledge in pieces like from a reference book or an encyclopedia. To rise to the level of Shakespeare and others, you first need to master at least the simplest methods of influencing the reader. Writing is almost the only profession in the world where even a shy person can breakthrough. After all, no one will know how many attempts it took to do this, and you can tell your friends that the first time you hit the target. This book will give you the basics of writing. At first glance, it may seem that it is too simple, but perhaps rereading it in a few days will offer even more substance. The fact is that many people today are often incapable of perceiving long complex thoughts as we are bombarded with technology and social media. Attention spans are short and at the same time, we may not always be able to immediately see things that are fundamental and useful to us. Use this book as a writing guide or as a helper. Scroll up and click "Buy Now" today! Or better yet, buy a paperback to always have it at hand.

"This is not a book about the nuts and bolts of sentence structure, grammar, and the like, but one that focuses specifically on what you need to do to successfully begin a writing project and bring it to completion. Anyone who is a writer or who aspires to become a writer will benefit from its advice. Part I of the book discusses how to plan your writing. Matters such as identifying your purpose, considering your target audience, and addressing your anxieties about writing are covered. Part II is about gathering ideas and creating your outline. Useful suggestions include keeping an idea book, maintaining a journal, and holding brainstorming writing sessions. The third part of the book covers the actual writing of the book itself, starting with the first draft and continuing on until you have your final copy. One of the most useful suggestions in this part involves doing "freewriting," that is, writing whatever comes to mind and doing it quickly (as a way of stimulating the creative juices). Part IV is on systematizing the writing process. Perhaps the best piece of advice from this section involves overcoming perfectionism and negative self-talk. This section also talks about the importance of making time for writing, developing your writing routine, and getting rid of distractions. The last part of the book is titled "Getting Your Writing Done." Like the other parts, Part V contains many useful suggestions. One of the best is this: "Start very small and build on it." As someone who has written his entire adult life, I have found that the hardest part of writing a book or article is getting into the swing of things. Like training to run a marathon, a writing project takes discipline and conditioning. Beginning with writing small chunks at a time and building one's writing stamina over time is sound advice. At the end of the book is a helpful recap that provides a quick summary of all the points and is useful in reinforcing the points made throughout the book. This is a must read for any aspiring writer." -Dr. Doug Erlandson, Amazon Top 50 Reviewer
