 "I’m excited to be a part of this program that Carter Wilson has put together. Finding out how other authors write—not just their process but their philosophy of what makes a story work—is an amazing way to shave hours, days, or even years off the learning process of becoming an author. While perseverance and dedication are vital, so is guidance from those who have gone before. The How I Write series provides that unique and important guidance to help you along the road to success.”


~ Steven James, bestselling author of The Pawn and Fatal Domain
