So You Wrote A Book . . .

So You Wrote A Book . . .

And now you're wondering wtf to do next

Hey! I’m Abbie

Novelist, Editor and Founder of So You Wrote A Book

Ever since I could hold a pencil, I’ve been weaving worlds and tales with my head buried in books and dreaming of becoming a fairy.

Though I haven’t quite mastered the fairy gig yet, my life’s still filled with magic, books and writing.

I started So You Wrote A Book during my M.A. in Creative Writing, Editing, and Publishing when I realised how little attention was given to self-publishing authors. Writing and publishing a book yourself is hard and confusing AF, and I’ve seen far too many creatives put their dreams of writing a book aside because it falls into the ‘too hard’ basket.

Sharing your manuscript can be terrifying, but I know what that feels like, and I am determined to help YOU navigate the writing and editing process (because it’s actually really fun!). I want to help all authors – regardless of where you’re from, your background, or who you define yourself as and what you write – turn your manuscript into a masterpiece!

Let’s do this!

Picture this: You’ve got an amazing story idea swirling in your head, and you’re dying to get it out onto the page. But plotting it? Drafting it? Not so easy.

Or maybe you’ve actually finished your draft – yay! – but now you’re staring at it thinking, “Uh, what now?” The editing process feels like a mystery, and after looking into it, you’re more stressed than ever.

And if you’re stuck somewhere in the middle, trying to write your first draft but constantly losing momentum – even though you’ve been dreaming about this story for years? Yep, we’ve been there too.
