Help me help you

Kia ora,

Thank you again for giving me space in your inbox and letting me talk all things adventure books and book editing. I love what I do and the writers I get to work with – you all go on such awesome adventures!

Here are some of the most common questions I get from writers:

1. I’ve got an idea but I’m struggling to get that first draft written. How do I get this story out of my head?
2. I’ve written a draft or two. Okay! So, uh, now what?
3. I’ve got my drafts nailed down but … I feel like my writing is missing something??

Do any of these resonate with you? Reply with the question that’s most pressing and I’ll reply with a few options. Or if you have another question, send it my way and I’ll see how I can answer it.

Cheers, and happy writing!

Deborah
