I am reviewing Teen Writer’s Guide: Your Road Map to Writing through Owl Hollow Press:

Can you use your imagination to turn a single picture into a plot line, if you can this book is just the ticket for you.

Before you begin with your short story, novel or other piece of writing ask yourself if this is a genre you would read?  Is your story idea one you could find yourself reading, that will help you in the telling of the story.  It is important too decide who is going to narrate your story, will it be the main character or someone or something all together different.

You will need to decide too whether your story will be told in the First, Second or Third Person POV, noting that most stories are told in the first or third person point of view.

You will need to decide too the main conflict of the story you are telling.  And ask yourself too what is at stake if your hero or heroine does not succeed in his quest.  Ask yourself too what your characters main goal is what does he or she want to achieve above all else?  Make sure your characters fit the story you are telling as well, not all characters will fit in all stories. 

This book would be a great addition to the library of the young adult in your life who has showed an interest in writing, or a great addition to the High School English or Creative Writing Class.  

I give Teen Wrier’s Guide: Your Road Map to Writing five out of five stars!

Happy Reading!
