If You Absolutely Must (version 1.1) – An ebook About Making It As a Writer

This ebook is a collection of practical, practicable advice for inexperienced writers, in the hopes that their journeys might be a little smoother than mine has been. Much of the content here is previously-published material, but there is a good deal of new stuff too, and it has been extensively reworked. This project stemmed from a simple love of writing and writers and a sincere desire to make life a little easier for people who want to pursue the craft. You can download the .pdf here.

The ebook is free, but if you would like to tip me for my efforts, you may do so here.
