How to Become a Famous Writer Before You're Dead: Your Words in Print and Your Name in Lights

Overview

Here are the secrets they never teach you in fancy MFA programs. HOW TO BECOME A FAMOUS WRITER BEFORE YOU'RE DEAD is an empowering, irreverent guide for aspiring writers. But more than about honing your writing skills, this is a practical plan to becoming a buzzworthy writer. The fun breezy tone is more upbeat and commercial than a lote of the "get published" book out there, and the focus is on results. Anecdotes and encouragement will be woven throughout, but the core of the book will be stuffed with actual practical information, sold advice on both writing and the marketing and promotion strategie than even established writers can find intimidating. The book consists of 50 - 75 short chapters, each ne with a tip or lesson, and more than 20 interviews with well-known authors who have self-propelled their careers (Ursula K. LeGuin, Dave Barry, Michelle Bright, Susie Tea and more). Gore starts aspiring writers at the beginning, guiding them through various levels in becoming buzzworth, starting with 'Give yourself a Lit Star Makeover' and moving on to 'Master Your Craft, Publish Before You're Ready and Become a Brazen Self-Promoter."
