You've Got a Book in You

"Elizabeth Sims packs a twelve-week writing course into 280 pages. Inspirational and yet extremely hands-on, "Youve Got a Book In You" will give newbies confidence to forge ahead and will remind veteran writers why they began writing in the first place--for the joy of it. I wont be surprised when the brilliant terms stormwriting and heartbrain become part of every writers lexicon." Julie Compton, author of "Tell No Lies" and "Keep No Secrets"

"The book is encouraging and inspiring, practical and witty. As a seasoned writer, I appreciate the reminders about the importance of putting yourself on a writing schedule. No more excuses. The many writing blasts are very helpful and will get any writer out of the starting blocks. I especially enjoyed the section, Writing with the Masters. What better way to get inspired, get a feel for different styles, and get jump-started on your writing? Excellent advice that I plan to incorporate in my future classes.

I concur with Sims that writers block is greatly exaggerated. Is there any other profession that claims such a phenomenon? Excuse, me, but I have book-keeping block, playing music block, or painting block today? I dont think so. Get yourself on a schedule, read some Sims, write with the masters, and youll be on your way. Youll be glad you met this friend on your journey to becoming a successful writer." Gesa Kirsch, Ph.D., Professor of English, Director of Valente Center for the Arts and Sciences, Bentley University"
