Pauline Piper

Pauline Piper, E-Book Writer

When Pauline Piper read in the local paper that her old schoolmate Marjorie had published a book and was going to sign copies of it in the local library, she suddenly remembered that she had always wanted to write one. Despite her admission that she had never been able to express herself very well in words, she enlisted the help of her patient husband John, a great reader, unlike herself, and began to pen her very first novel. In her candid account of the ups and downs of authorship, Pauline steers us ably through the process of writing her first novel, from its inception to publication day and beyond. In this self-revealing book - a minor work of art in itself - she introduces the reader to the home life of a literary artist remarkable for her determination to succeed against all the odds. Essential reading for all budding authors, this unique chronicle strips away one by one the myths that have surrounded authorship for millennia and gives us the lowdown on how to write and publish a work of fiction in the digital age.
