Someone heard your story and said, "You should write a book." Is this true? Maybe their words took you by surprise or maybe they confirmed what you've been feeling for a while now--you are called to write.

Believe it or not, this happens a lot and is a common motivator for people to start thinking about writing a book. But where do you start and how do you even write a book?

So They Say You Should Write a Book is a first-time author's guide to book writing in the competitive publishing industry. Casually written and easy-to-understand, it is jam-packed with necessary insight, tips, advice, how-tos, quick-reference guides, and checklists to help you write the book (or books) you are destined to write.

You will learn how to

• Discover and write for your unique target audience
