I'm very proud of Naked Writing:The No Frills Way to Write Your Book. It's my very first Indie publishing attempt, and has done pretty well on Amazon in its niche as a book on writing.
Writing itself is a solitary kind of occupation, and to prevent myself becoming a total recluse, I got involved some years ago in teaching creative writing. I did it in the classroom at third level with some wonderful adult students, then moved on to teach the course online. The payback went far beyond the cash (which is always nice!) because I not only met some terrific people from all over the world; I also learned a great deal about the craft as I taught these new and enthusiastic - and talented - writers. Quite a few have gone on to be published; some just wanted to write for themselves or for their children; others wrote fascinating family histories using the techniques of creative writing.
I know that some of these books, while they may never go public, will be treasured family heirlooms for years to come.
I also get a kick out of seeing the names of former students appearing on book lists!
Naked Writing is a compilation of all I learned in the nine years I worked this course, from everything I learned as I built my own writing career, and the insights I garnered from my writing students.
It's a lovely feeling, helping someone to fulfill their dream.
So, once again, Naked Writing is going free! Check
Amazon in your area on Sunday & Monday, Oct 14/15, and pick up the ebook, totally free, with my compliments.
And if it helps you fulfill your writing dreams, do let me know and I'll celebrate with you!
You Can See Naked Writing here on Amazon.com or here for Amazon.co.uk. It's also available on other Amazon sites, including Germany, France, Italy, and India!
