A Valuable Resource for Writers
Barbara Kyle knows about writing fiction. She’s a coach and a fiction author too. She explains the fundamentals of writing fiction that will help writers develop a story that can become a page turner.
After listening to the audio version, I purchased the paperback so I have it as a resource in my library.
If you’re looking for a how-to on writing fiction, I highly recommend this book.
