Synopsis

A treasure trove of sage advice for the new writer packaged in easy to digest and fun to read anecdotes. Damn the Rejections, Full Speed Ahead offers real world suggestions for writing novels, or non-fiction and turning them into saleable works. Maralys Wills, creative writing teacher and author of 12 books in many genres, a shares from her own experience the dos and don'ts of getting published. "Maralys Wills's guidance has been imperative to my writing career. Her unique ability to teach, along with her knowledge as a multi-published author, got results in her classes. Nineteen published authors in our class alone. As a student, she kept me focused with her positive encouragement. She didn't just grade my work; she critiqued, edited, and most importantly, praised it. A book by Maralys Wills on the subject of writing is a must!" -- Patricia Thayer (author of 21 books)

A teacher beyond compare, what Maralys doesn't know about writing, hasn't been written. If you are looking to make the leap from amateur to published writer, then Maralys Wills will take you there.
