Excellent information

I’ve read several books on writing and this is one of the best. The chapter on Voice was very enlightening as most books are not as clear on this aspect of writing. Well narrated by two alternating narrators who keep the subject alive. Well done.

Comprehensive How-To

Audible hopes I enjoyed this program and indeed I did! I listened to this over many morning drives to work and took voice notes along the way (related to my own potential novel).

Steve and Dani offer a comprehensive “how to write young adult fiction” overview that is engaging, detailed, and inspiring.

I’m also pleased to learn they have an online writing school to assist aspiring writers after finishing the book.

Very Informative

I learned a lot about writing YA books from Steve and Dani Acorn. They offered good strategies for outlining using specific checkpoints. Their chapter on scene and sequel was especially helpful to me and my current project. They also provided specific examples from YA novels. I’m very glad I purchased this on Audible.
