An (Un)helpful Guide to Writing a Novel

Most books about writing a novel give you advice about plot and structure and stakes and more.

This isn't most books.

Within the pages of An (Un)helpful Guide to Writing a Novel, you'll find information about writing novels from a less technical standpoint that authors also need to understand. There are pointers about writing despite what life throws at you, including pets and other human beings, but also stress, disabilities, and burnout. You'll learn about editing and querying and everything else that goes into the novel publication process. But you'll also find advice about distractions, tools, and rewards, including naps and snacks and stickers (so many stickers) and more.

If you want to write a novel and enjoy a healthy dose of humor, this is the book for you!
