Wednesday Wing….Writer’s Craft series by @RayneHall #wwwblogs #WritersTips

Welcome to my new feature called Wednesday Wing where I’ll be passing on

observations, tips and information to readers I’ve made a note of.

Rosie's Notebook

Today I’m passing on a tip about Rayne Hall’s writer’s craft series of books.

During my time of reviewing I have suggested to many authors that I believe their writing would benefit from the advice Rayne gives in her low priced easy to read writers craft series.

I have read The Word Loss Diet which is a full of useful tips on ways to slim-line your writing, cut down your descriptions and remove watery weak words. It’s a fabulous way to polish your manuscript before publishing or if you’ve had reviews which suggest the writing needed tightening. No one wants to be labelled as a novice writer.

  1. Thanks for featuring my books. 🙂

    I’m working on the next ones in the series already. What do you think I should write next? “Writing Deep PoV” “Writing Vivid Dialogue” “SWOT for Writing Success” or “How To Train Your Cat to Promote Your Books”? 🙂

  2. Oh YES – not using dialogue for info dumping! That’s one of my biggest grrrrrs when reading debut indie novels. I’d recommend Twitter for Writers to anyone who’s just started to use Twitter to promote their book, it’s excellent.

      • Yes please! I’ve recently read a book where the author used pages of dialogue from one person telling us all about a place thinking it was ideal to reel off info like a tourist guide to the area. They did this more than once and I just skipped the whole lot.

      • I took advantage of the free sneak preview on Amazon, and liked what I saw, so I’ve purchased the Why Does My Book Not Sell: 20 simple fixes. 🙂
        (I don’t have a book… yet… but you know what they say? Forewarned is forearmed…)
        Now I’m interested in the Twitter For Writers.
