About the Book

Why do so many people talk about writing a book but never get the job done? Why do so many start books they never finish?

Because writing is a process, and this book guides writers through that process, explaining what's worth doing and when to do it.

Book Synopsis

Are you a Red Sneaker Writer?

Why do so many people talk about writing a book but never get the job done? Why do so many start books they never finish? And why is the final product often so much less than what editors and agents want? Because writing is a process, and no steps can be omitted without impacting the quality of the work. As bestselling author William Bernhardt explains, editing begins before you start writing and doesn't end until the book is in print (if then). This book guides writers through that process, explaining what's worth doing and when to do it. With his usual straightforward, demystified approach, Bernhardt explains how to produce a book of exceptional quality.
