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!
