The next book in my Busy Writer’s Guides series is out just in time to help you with NaNoWriMo.

In How to Write Faster: A Busy Writer’s Guide you’ll learn eight techniques that can help you double your word count in a way that’s sustainable and doesn’t sacrifice the quality of your writing in favor of quantity.

In our new digital era, writers are expected to produce multiple books and short stories a year, and to somehow still find time to build a platform through blogging and social media. We end up burning out or sacrificing time with our family and friends to keep up with what’s being asked of us.

How to Write Faster provides you with tools and tips to help you find ways to write better, faster, and still have fun doing it, so that you’ll have time left to spend on living life away from your computer. This book was written for writers who believe that there’s more to life than just the words on the page and who want to find a better balance between the work they love and living a full life. The best way to do that is to be more productive in the writing time we have.

Because your time is precious, How to Write Faster is a mini-book of approximately 6,000 words. Like Strong Female Characters: A Busy Writer’s Guide, this one is priced at only 99 cents.

You can buy a copy at Amazon, Amazon.ca, Kobo, and Smashwords. More retailers coming soon!
