Uploaded by Celia Ann, but review from Dorothy Sander, Aging Abundantly Writing up a Storm is the perfect tool and inspirational guide, not only for beginner writers, but also for established writers wishing to infuse their work with new life. Celia writes with great love and understanding of her craft and with an enthusiasm that is contagious. Her suggestions are on target and she has a way of making the complex simple and palatable. This little gem should be every writer's companion. And from Sally P. Bennett, Reviewer and Author The seemingly impossible becomes possible as Leaman breaks down the over- whelming process of writing and marketing a book into manageable steps. She begins by inspiring would-be writers to consider the possibilities, provides gentle warnings about the obstacles they will face, and offers advice about how to overcome those obstacles. From finding writers' resources to marketing a finished book, and at every stage in-between, Leaman's own book serves as an... More > excellent starting point. Particularly helpful are the practice suggestions and handy tips that end sections.

As someone new to writing, this book is absolutely priceless. I would strongly recommend it to anyone thinking of taking up a pen. There are loads of books on this subject but this one is the best I've come across. It was an easily digestible encounter - only taking me a couple of hours to get through, but it is full of really useful help. Every point made is supported by excellent writing examples which show you what is really meant by the advice. 90% of what you need in 10% of the words – perfect! Thank you very much Celia Leaman.
