Everybody has a story. It builds up inside us, fighting at the edges of our soul, pushing at us until it forces us to open an outlet and let it escape. So, what do we do? How do we tell the story? Write Well Publish Right is designed to bring story-tellers from the first glimmer of an idea into completion of a full-fledged print book. This is not a “how-to” book, this is an “I did it and you can do it too” book. For all the writers who have ever attended writer’s workshops, community education classes and library meet-the-author days and wondered how to write a book and get published, this book leads the way. Learn how to write your first book or improve your writing in general. This book takes you on a journey into the world of writing and publishing from the perspective of an author who has been there. Lucinda Moebius has experienced the world of publishing through professional and self-publishing forums. Through her journey she has learned many lessons and has experienced both good and bad sides of the publishing world and she has decided to share the knowledge she has gained with you. There are books out there about writing and there are books out there about publishing. Write Well Publish Right is a book about both. This book breaks down the foundations of good writing, teaches lessons and explains, in the simplest terms, how you can publish your story. There are no shortcuts to becoming a published writer, but Write Well Publish Right can be a signpost pointing the way.

Most of this book's content is advice that I've heard many times before, but for someone new to writing and publishing I'm sure the book will be very helpful. It covers many facets of the complex process with useful tips and recommendations for how to go about it effectively. I was surprised by some of the concepts that the book left out (for example, the book described but did not specifically name peripheral narrators or unreliable narrators in its section on points of view), and I was surprised by how many little errors there were in the book (particularly and ironically in the sections on editors and proofreading, there were some persistent syntax errors). Every author has their own approach to writing, and my own approach is not exactly the same as this author's, so nothing in this book should be treated as the set-in-stone law for writing and publication. But, overall I think the book may provide potential authors with a great reference point for getting started.Product details

Write Well Publish Right Lucinda Moebius 9781479316229 Books Reviews
This is an excellent resource for the beginner writer, filled as it is with real-life experience of the steps involved in taking your "idea' through to publication. It's also a really great refresher course for the more experienced authors, and for the price, I have to say, you can't do better than to pick this one up and keep it on your shelf, virtual or real life!
Why did I buy this ebook when I already own two bending shelves full of them? Intrigue—a real fiction writer and I always learn something new. This ebook demonstrates that the author is a lover of writing, she teaches it and that shows too. A big plus is that Lucinda Moebius is a lover of science fiction and, like me, is frustrated at the bias in the literary community against our genre.
Lucinda says with passion that good story telling can emerge from people of any age and in any genre and I agree. The “Write what you know” is good advice for reporters and non-fiction but if fiction writers have anything different it is their imagination. I’ve not been to Saturn’s rings but I’ve written stories based there.
Great Scott, we both like Fahrenheit 451! I reread it for my SF book group and we all agreed how ‘modern’ and tight the writing style is. Amazing that Bradbury wrote it in a week in 1953.
I agree with the author urging us to read Shakespeare and Scripture although the latter for probably different reasons. The various books of the Bible have been honed, edited and re-written many times. Some by papal decree, some by Henry VIII’s bidding and by thousands of monks whose copyediting have all played a part in the several versions of the Bible we have today. All that editing has produced poetic and moving literature.
I don’t go along with everything the author promulgates with respect to Freud, Jung and other psychologists. I studied neuroscience and prefer to treat the brain as more than a black box with input and output but it doesn’t matter if those sections makes an aspiring writer reflect on life, motivations, and anything we, as individuals, believe to be greater than the sum of the whole.
Outlining a plot is well outlined. The only addition I’d add is someone else’s Bridport prize judge, Ali Smith, said she's looking for a beginning, middle and end but not necessarily in that order (2009). Actually, the author refers to this later with In Medias Ra – neatly done.
The subtlety of foreshadowing in story telling is cleverly described and not often seen in other works on the craft.
A note to UK writers you do not need to apply for copyright of your stories outside America. All you need is evidence when you wrote your story. Date it and emailing it to yourself is sufficient for the British legal system. You could print or save it to a memory stick and deposit it in a bank – dated – if you like but your entitlement is solid with self-emails dated, as long as you can access them all your life.
There are valuable chapters on editing and proofreading. I cannot help but smile because my ‘ARIA Left Luggage’ science fiction novel had most of its commas removed by one editor then put back by another.
Love this quote from the author “If a picture is worth a thousand words, a cover art is worth a hundred thousand...” Even with professional artists I don’t get this one right – excellent advice in this chapter.
Another review mentions the many elements of autobiography in this how-to book and there are, but they illustrate by example and so are totally appropriate.
Overall, an excellent guide for newbie writers and others to craft their stories and prepare them for publishing and unleashing on the world. Highly recommended.
A truly great book. I learned a lot from its pages.
Some good tips on writing.
This author, an english teacher working toward her doctorate, has the creditials to write this type of book. She teaches the reader what she teaches her students, including the importance of reading different types of writing to learn different writing styles and giving the writer more tools for their trade.
She takes the reader from the beginning of a writers journey from an idea all the way through the process of writing a book, including what the process of self publishing looks like. This book is well worth the money.
Every writer, beginner or seasoned, can use advice on creating a story. Learning the craft of writing is a life-long pursuit. This book provides the basics for writing for the general public, but not only that, the book gives advice on how to publish. So it's actually two books in one.
Whether refreshing your memory with the basic elements of storytelling or learning new ideas for publishing your work, this book will help out.
First of all I'd like to state this was interesting. It is a unique book about writing and covers interesting plot points. Will I recommend it, yes. Well worth the the time and five stars.
Most of this book's content is advice that I've heard many times before, but for someone new to writing and publishing I'm sure the book will be very helpful. It covers many facets of the complex process with useful tips and recommendations for how to go about it effectively.
