A Holiday Book in Review: Will Write for Shoes: How to Write A Chick Lit Novel

Will Write for Shoes: How to Write A Chick Lit Novel By: Cathy Yardley
Non-Fiction, Writing 208 pages
Book Count: 77

This book has a format similar to the last book that I read. It starts with some information on what a Chick Lit book is, their history and sub genres. Then it gets into the basics of how to write a book including special information on Chick Lit books. The information on how to get published is very good. There are appendixes of information/examples in query letters, synopsis, outlining, agents and publishers that do chick lit books. It includes a very broad idea of what chick lit is (for example including multiple series that men I know read) so even if you aren't writing a book for chick lit, but it is a book with a strong female protagonist and some level of humor and/or is character driven you might get some good information out of this book.
