Agents and editors at conferences often speak about how they feel the one area many writers can improve on is the business end. And, as an editor myself, I've noticed many authors are not as comfortable with the business end as the writing side.

This series will help you find your way.

"Savvy Business Skills for Writers: Nuts and Bolts, is a book that every writer MUST have! Not only is Ms. Knowles' material extremely helpful, the way she writes made me feel like she was sitting right beside me. She really drew me in, captured my attention, and got me moving on the right track. Being a writer, I don't always find myself excelling on the business end of things, but with this book, I feel a lot more confindent. Not only does Ms. Knowles present a great wealth of knowledge, she makes learning fun!"--Eliza Knight, historical romance author and owner of the History Undressed blog.

I'm a long-time entrepreneur, trained image coach, and workshop facilitator. I have long been in the business world and have helped many authors find their bearings in this challenging publishing business. I've written several articles on the business side of writing and often give presentations and online classes as well.

"Ms. Knowles’ common sense approach to mapping out a thorough business plan is a must have for every successful author!”--Juliet Burns, Harlequin and Red Sage author.

How To Avoid Writer's Hell is a four book series covering topics
that every author should be familiar with.

Volume I
This is the beginning of a series that addresses most of what there is to know about writing a tight, exciting story.

Volume II
Laymen's terms and with a touch of irreverent humor, Ms. Bicknell-Brown discusses the writer's muse, unique plots, avoiding stereotypes, character development, the abused comma, excessive adverbs and adjectives, atmosphere, setting, info dumps, the writer's ego, and much more.

Volume III
Ms. Bicknell-Brown discusses a new comma dilemma, when to use semi colons and colons, more on participial phrases, dangling participles, infinitives and split infinitives, dialogue tags, alliteration, writing blurbs, and much more.

Volume IV
Finally, the long-awaited The Query-Go-Round addresses writing the dreaded query letter, the synopsis, and even how to compose confusing bibliographies. In Laymen's terms and with a touch of irreverent humor (and her rolled newspaper…mwahaha!), Ms. Bicknell-Brown delivers another installment that will help you learn as you laugh and have fun.
