Every writer was once a beginner, and even after publication, we begin afresh with each new book. So whether you are a beginner or an established writer, this step-by-step guide can help you structure a synopsis, plot an outline and polish your final words…

Key Points

The spark - the moment of conception
Revision - to improve your chances of publication
Planning - using your synopsis as a personal 
reference map
Plotting - just like a game of chess, moving 
characters and scenes around
Polishing - until every word is like a diamond, 
honed to perfection
Writers’ jargon - fifty words every writer needs to 
know
Writers’ block - overcoming the three types: 
permanent, temporary and self-inflicted

All this, plus 12 easy steps to a saleable synopsis, this invaluable guide not only shows the writer how to enjoy writing but also how to be a professional and successful.
