Very good overview of writing a book.

Solid book. The narrator was fine. I was just surprised the author didn't narrate it after watching (and listening to her voice) her on YouTube.

Great narration and wonderful resource for the book writing process!

Delightful narration. The book is clear, insightful and has many resources listed as well. It takes you through the whole writing process, from basic book idea to knowing when the book is done. It has Jenna’s signature humor and no bull $#*% manner that I always love. I got inspired so many times to pause and write more!

But Jenna

I watch Jenna's YouTube videos and this book is like those videos but more structured as a book should be. You could probably get all the information in this book from her channel but get this book, so you could reread it often. I like the narrator because she mirrors Jenna's style and helps move the book forward. This is a good book for a long car ride or commute.

Fantastic Audiobook

I own both the ebook and audiobook and find both formats helpful and informative. I also appreciate that there's a summary at the end of each chapter to have as a refresher on the topics that were discussed. The author also has a YouTube channel with helpful and funny videos on writing as well.

Wish I had this when I first started writing.

This book covers every question you may be to afraid or lazy to ask as a new writer. I like the Short and to the point descriptions. It's very easy to follow along with. I recommend listening to this while skimming through parts of your manuscript. There is also tons of useful info on Jenna's YouTube. I'm excited for the next book in Saviors series. Let's shut and release it.

This is a great introduction to the craft.

I have been watching Jenna's YouTube channel for years and even used many of her tips to complete my first Novella.
With all that said, I mean no offense when I tell you I learned nothing new.

I HIGHLY recommend this book to anybody new to writing
who needs a little direction.
