I'd never tried the fifteen beat approach before, but Tara gave me all the details I needed to fill in the blanks along the way. Highly recommended if you're struggling with shaping an epic style story with classic characters/protagonists." Marshall Banana "Tara Maya pares down writing rules and makes them easily understood. She takes the writer by the hand and leads him though the process step by step. I'd recommend this to anyone who is interested in writing, especially newbies." Barbara A. Whittington, author "I'm an experienced writer but I was looking for something to jolt me out of my creative rut. 30 day novel had great ideas for every aspect of writing and has something for new writers as well as grisly veterans." Darren Censullo "Tara Maya eliminates your excuses, now it just requires you read, and put in the time in the chair typing away.." Sherry A "Written in a witty voice, 30 Day Novel is both entertaining and informative." Keith Badowski "It's not often you get a 'how to book' which really does tell you 'how to'.
