So maybe you’re writing a beautiful or incredibly interesting book of your own. One that you think just might be a best-seller. If you are? Here are a few things I would never do.

Rules for Writing from Elisabeth Elliot

What authors are saying…

“My expertise centers on writing and editing for clients, so taking time away from paying gigs to research all the technical steps to launch my website-blog felt overwhelming. Enter Gretchen, a literal techie whiz and expert on everything WordPress. She took my basic ideas and created a prototype quicker than I could grasp definitions for widgets and tags. Plus, she offered solutions I hadn’t thought of, as well as easy-to-follow advice via emails and her own site. Without her help, I’d still be stuck.”
