This is a well thought-out, constructed and written guide. Will every tip be new to a reader? No, but the easy conversational style invites the reader to think about what they are doing and why. I really enjoyed it. An excellent read for anyone looking to produce writing for others to read.

From Story Idea to Reader was a great helpful idea for any aspiring author. Patsy Collins and Rosemary J. Kind did a great job of giving authors tips and ideas I think this is a great book for anyone who aspires to write a book.

This is a real gem packed full of great ideas (delivered with humour) to kick start or improve your writing skills. I use it as a reference book & I think its really worthwhile working through it slowly rather than reading it all in one go. What every writer or would be writer needs to know preferably before you write your story or novel.

Easy to read, with concise, clear information, recommended particularly to those setting out as new writers. Well worth checking the websites recommended in the book too.
