Writing Prompts: 200+ Ideas You Can Use Today

As a long-time book editor, I get the same comments over and over from my clients: ���I like to write but don���t have any good ideas for stories���...���I don���t know how to start a story���...���My stories often don���t have any direction.���

The problem often is that the writer didn���t start with conflict, the core of all good fiction, regardless of genre. With no conflict to resolve, there���s simply no story. Unfortunately, many of the writing prompts out there don���t focus on conflict. They instead ask you to write descriptions or to explain what you would do in a situation in which characters don���t clash.

Storystarters: 200+ Writing Prompts That Lead To Stories solves that problem. It gives 50 different topics ��� such as betrayal, jealousy and revenge ���in which your protagonist might confront another person, society, nature, God, or himself. If you wrote a short story a month, there are enough prompts in this book to last you more than 16 years...or if you wrote a novel a year, it would be good for more than two centuries!

Storystarters has topped Amazon.com bestseller lists for writing and is available in both paperback and ebook.

Professional Book Editor: Having your novel, short story or nonfiction manuscript proofread or edited before submitting it can prove invaluable. In an economic climate where you face heavy competition, your writing needs a second eye to give you the edge. I can provide that second eye.
