Description

PRAISE FOR THE WORDSMITH'S GUIDES:

"No matter how good your story, if your characters aren't rounded and believable you are wasting your time - and writing takes a long time. This latest book in Elizabeth M. Hurst's Wordsmith Series gives you the tools you need to ensure your characters jump into the hearts of your readers and keeps them turning the pages of your book long after they should've put out the light." [for Creating Compelling Characters]

"Having benefitted so much from this author's last Wordsmith's Guide (on editing your own novel) I was very much looking forward to reading this latest one, and I was not disappointed. It's full of really useful information and ideas, and I find the examples particularly useful as they help me to understand how I can implement the concepts into my own writing. Liz writes in a very easy to understand way without dumbing down or patronising, and it's clear that she writes very much from experience. I can't recommend this enough!" [for Becoming a Freelance Editor & Proofreader]

"A comprehensive overview of self-editing and more. Elizabeth knows her stuff! I would certainly recommend this to new writers who've completed their first draft." [for Editing Your Own Novel]
