Yes, Hemingwaywantabes, your loyal book consultant is ready to assist you through “Free Friday” mentoring sessions.

Just this past week, I spent time on the telephone with a woman from Texas who wants to write, but hasn’t a clue as to write about. After hearing her passion for the spiritual world, I suggested she attempt a work of fiction based on the spiritual journey that had led her from the depths of depression to her current state of bliss. The main character may be patterned after her, or another if she chooses, with the plot including how organized religion didn’t quite cut it when too many obstacles were in the way. No matter, the main character, like her, bypasses the traditional route and discovers a path to her God she never knew existed.

If you would like to chat about your book, please check the Literary Consultant page on my website at www.markshawbooks.net. Or send me an email at mshawin@yahoo.com to set up a time when we can chat. I’ll be pleased to give you my two cents, based on my experiences in the publishing world, regarding book ideas, storytelling alternatives, book proposal concepts, query letter forms, or even how to find the proper literary agent or publisher for your book.

I love to mentor aspiring authors, whether the genre is fiction or non-fiction, and I look forward to speaking with you.

Blessings,

Mark Shaw
