Writing a book may come easily to you, or it may be the most painful endeavor of your life. Unfortunately, there’s no way to know unless you give it a try. Thankfully, Lauren is here with a very candid look into the writing process, and how to write for beginners.

From determining why you should even bother writing a book in the first place to determining how to sit down and write your first book, Lauren helps you evaluate what your personal writing process will look like. Next, she will guide you through all the steps a first-timer might need to know, including

✓ The pre-work of formulating your book

✓ Practical- if not brutally honest- advice for remaining calm and focused throughout the writing process.

✓ The emotional toll editing can take on you, and how a good sense of humor and an open mind can help you learn plenty about yourself while setting your first book up for success.

Entertaining

I was recommended this book by a professor and was expecting a boring how-to guide for writing books. I was pleasantly surprised by the entertainment of both the information and the narrator. Lynnda is a very talented voice actor and I am glad she narrated this book, I was able to focus and get the most of Lauren's words.

Frustration tamer

I am beyond frustrated writing my book and I didn’t know if I should just give up or pursue it. Thanks to this author I know I am meant to write and need to keep going. The words will come to me. I just need to be patient. The narrator does this book justice. Highly Recommended.
