So...You
Want to Write a Book
by
Christian Warren Freed
Genre:
Nonfiction, Self-Help
WANT
TO WRITE A BOOK BUT DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN?
The
plot—sketchy maybe—is in your head. Now, how do you pull it
together into a book?
Christian
Freed to the rescue with So
. . . You Want to Write a Book,
taking you on a helpful and entertaining trip from honing your idea
all the way through to making your publishing decisions.
This
is not your typical “how-to-write” reference book. Rather, it
helps you think through your situations, shares ways to improve your
writing, and prepares you for the inevitable author frustrations.
No
two ways about it—after writing more than 25 books himself, Freed
knows a thing or two. An award-winning, best-selling author of
military fantasy fiction, Freed uses humor, real learning curve
experiences, and practical wisdom to guide would-be writers via four
easy-to-digest units (and yes, the E word is “edit"):
--
That Nagging Idea
--
Where the Magic Happens
--
The Dreaded E Word
--
Wrapping It Up in a Neat Little Bow
Though
primarily focused on the art of fiction writing, So
. . . You Want to Write a Book will
also benefit nonfiction writers; either way, it’s a
“from-the-head-to-the-page" thing.
So,
are you finally ready to write the book that’s in your head? Start
by reading this book!

W. Freed was born in Buffalo, N.Y. more years ago than he would like
to remember. After spending more than 20 years in the active duty US
Army he has turned his talents to writing. Since retiring, he has
gone on to publish 17 military fantasy and science fiction novels, as
well as his memoirs from his time in Iraq and Afghanistan. His first
published book (Hammers in the Wind) has been the #1 free book on
Kindle 4 times and he holds a fancy certificate from the L Ron
Hubbard Writers of the Future Contest.
Passionate about
history, he combines his knowledge of the past with modern military
tactics to create an engaging, quasi-realistic world for the readers.
He graduated from Campbell University with a degree in history and is
pursuing a Masters of Arts degree in Military History from Norwich
University. He currently lives outside of Raleigh, N.C. and devotes
his time to writing, his family, and their two Bernese Mountain Dogs.
If you drive by you might just find him on the porch with a cigar in
one hand and a pen in the other.
