This guidebook is for wannabe authors who have a book mulling around in their heads and don't know what to do to get it rolling onto a manuscript. The greatest deterrent for most people is lack of confidence. Opening the door into the world of authoring is like passing into a dark hole. If you don't know where to turn or what lies ahead, the safest thing is to do nothing. The purpose of this guidebook is to turn on that light inside the dark hole so you can see what lies ahead and what's needed in the world of writing.
