My Book Therapy

The thorough guidance Susan Warren provides couldn’t be more simplified unless she had published it in crayon and included you are super stickers. She transforms unattainable truth into accessible information and places it directly into your hands. The goods she delivers in the classroom in such an energetic and vivacious fashion is laid out here using the same unforgettable dance acronyms in a format that involves the writer in shaping their work in progress. No crayons required; choice of writing implement optional.

Best-selling author Susan May Warren says it best: Writing your novel is only half the battle. If you want to conquer the will-I-ever-be-published challenge, you need to know how to sell your novel to both agents and editors. The step-by-step instructions provided in The Novel Proposal help you craft a professional, compelling proposal showcasing your novel. I rely on these techniques each time I need to craft a proposal and/or synopsis for a manuscript.

Without a doubt, Susan May Warren's teaching on how to wow agents and editors with a skillfully crafted proposal was a mega game-changer for me.

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.

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excited to see that Conversations with a Writing Coach contains the lessons and writing aids that took me from being an unpublished writer to published with a multi-book contract.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.

Learning the craft of writing occurs at many different levels. Susan holds the hand of the beginning writer, explains the craft, helps him/her visualize the craft in movies and books, and most importantly, points it out in the writing of the participant.

~ Ruth Schmeckpeper

Writing my novel was like traveling in a foreign land without a map. I’d see beautiful things and meet great people, but never get to my destination. Now I have the map I need. Learning the craft of structure was extremely important for me, freeing precious time to spend on character development and storyworld.
