Author Shelley Hitz tells how it took her a year to write her first book, and a week to write her most recent one. To be honest, that doesn’t encourage me to spend my hours reading it. But this short book on writing kindle non-fiction ebooks is filled with encouraging, practical, simple and helpful suggestions. So perhaps the author’s method really works. Perhaps having read it, I should give it a try. If you’ve been dreaming of writing non-fiction, perhaps you should do. And if your dreams tend more toward fiction, you’ll find suggestions that are just as helpful with that venture here.

Do you have time to write? Do you make time? What will you give up, because with giving up a few hours of something, you’ll never find those few hours a day for your book? The author asks these questions with encouraging comments and wise suggestions.

Do you know what you know? Write stuff down, she says, and find out; then consider what your readers want to know.

Do you have a plan? Where did you put your notes? And have you ever tried speaking what you want to say?

How to write a book is short, neat, practical, sensible, readable, and even fun. And it’s highly recommended.
