ALLi Author Advice Center Editor Debbie Young
Whatever you write and self-publish, there is one thing that binds us all together: our books are the result of developing our writing craft.
As 2017 draws to a close, Debbie Young, Commissioning Editor of ALLi's Author Advice Center, looks back at the year's posts about the craft of writing as a reminder of what we've learned and shared.
Each Wednesday, we run a weekly post about writing craft on the ALLi blog. The selection I've highlighted below has been chosen to appeal to the broad church of our membership, including indie authors of fiction and non-fiction, from beginning writers to experienced professionals.
Other Great Posts about Writing
There are plenty of other great posts about writing in our archive, and if you'd like to find the complete list, go to the “search by category” box in the sidebar and scroll down in the drop-down menu to “Writing a Book“.
Equally, if there is a particular aspect of writing craft that you'd like to look up, just type appropriate keywords into the search box in the sidebar. With over 1800 posts now live in our archive, you'll almost certainly find something there to help you.
And if you don't, then tell us what you're looking for, and we'll consider commissioning a post to answer your question.
More Great Posts Planned for 2018
We have more great posts about writing craft planned for the new year, including:
- a new monthly post by ALLi partner members who specialize in editorial services, and I'll be in touch with those members soon to invite them to take part
- a monthly post focusing on readers' genre expectations, each written by an successful author who is expert in that field
