A great tool to have for any writer

I love books on writing, but these can be difficult. There's always a balance between too much and too little information, and while we all know the outcome (get it written – well!), there is conflicting advice from many.Extreme Planning for Authors finds a great balance. I have enjoyed the author’s other work (fiction and nonfiction) for a number of years. There's just no nonsense here, just advice to get it written. Her approach, especially to creative world building and depth of research, is not only consistent with the high quality she writes, but also clear and simple for readers to understand.While this book is short, I definitely see this as one of the manuals I use for my own writing.

Over all interesting

So, I was a little bit unsure of reading this. I have always been a panster when it comes to writing. But there are a lot of really good tips and tricks that even as a panster, I can put into use in my writing journey.

Very Organized

Christy is very prolific in her output of novels, while also working full time, and managing a side-hustle. She is very organized and if she suggests a way to be more efficient in your novel writing, she's probably correct.

Extremely helpful to all writers

The book is full of information to assist any writer, at any stage. From those that have notebooks of ideas for novels and floundering about to those already published and want to make the process easier, look no further. It is well-organized and entertaining. This author takes the daunting task of writing, publishing, and promoting a book and breaks it down to manageable, bite-sized action items. I highly recommend this book.
