Book Description
You have a story to tell, don't you? Or maybe you simply want to try your hand at fiction writing. Perhaps you've given it your best effort, but simply didn't have enough tools in your tool box to finish that first draft. Wherever you're at with this novel-writing thing, popular bloggers Stephanie Morrill, Jill Williamson, and Shannon Dittemore totally understand. They know it's hard to finish a first draft. To stay motivated until the end. To feel like a "real" writer. They know because they've been there too. In Go Teen Writers: Write Your Novel, you'll learn: There is no such thing as one right way to write a novel. How to take an idea and give it a beginning, middle, and end. What story structure means and how it strengthens a book. Different approaches to plotting a novel. How to develop characters worth reading about. Strategies for creating memorable storyworlds and settings. What theme is and how to use it to enrich your story. What to do when your first draft is finished. There's no doubt about it. Learning to write a novel from beginning to end is a challenge. But with this book as your guide, you'll see that when you're in possession of the right tools, you're capable of finishing what you start. You'll be empowered and encouraged-as if you had a writing coach (or three!) sitting alongside you.

Book Description
In The Safe Lands Complete Collection by bestselling author Jill Williamson, brothers Levi, Mason, and Omar find their entire lives changed after they are made to live behind the Safe Lands’ walls. Each must navigate the challenges before them, and somehow rescue the loved ones who remain alive. Contains: Captives: In a dystopian future, most of the population is infected with a plague, with the exception of those who live outside the Safe Land’s city walls. When a plague mutation sends city enforcers looking for the uninfected, the village of Glenrock is raided. After all the women—including Levi’s fiancée—are captured, along with Mason and Omar, Levi vows to rescue them even if it means breaking into a land that is anything but safe. What Levi doesn’t realize is that Omar knew about the raid—as well as the plans Safe Lands has for the women they’ve captured. Outcasts: In book two, Levi finds himself not only the leader of the remaining people from Glenrock, but also the head of a new rebel force called the Messengers, which intends to expose the Safe Lands’ lies. At the same time, Mason uncovers secrets that may be more dangerous than he ever imagined. Meanwhile, Omar decides to take matters into his own hands. Rebels: In the final novel in the Safe Lands series, Mason and Omar are sentenced to Liberation, while Levi must find a way to lead the growing rebellion on his own. But everything comes to a head when Levi’s now-wife, Jemma, becomes a pawn in the Safe Lands’ game.
