This book walks you through, step by step, from planning your novel to writing your novel. It even has a section (a very needed section) to read about where things will go wrong and what to do when they do.

This is more than just a book about writing, this is a book about surviving the writing process.


The modern day writers guide for woman who were meant for more.

"Megg's "Write a Novel in 30 Days" got me excited to get writing! Chalk full of tips and tricks of how to get your month of writing off to a great start, and motivation to keep you moving through the rough patches (you know there will be some...) I can't wait to get started! Is it November yet?!”

Elize Cloete

"Megg's book is truly inspiring - I have never wanted to write a book but am inspired to share my story in some way with others around me.
The book is real, true and gets to the heart of the highs and lows of writing. Even sharing tips that can be applied not just in writing but everyday life too."

Meet Olivia

Olivia is a mom of two beautiful little angels. She's completely content with her life. In fact, her walk-in closet is to die for. 

Somewhere along the way of getting married and having kids, between being wife, mother, sister, daughter, friend she's lost herself.

For a while now Olivia has put everyone else's needs before her own with the hopes of getting back into a career someday. But, Olivia is exhausted and run down. HOW can she possibly take time for herself? There is none. Olivia needs to rediscover her dream, but how?

Meet Emma

She's just graduated. She wants to be a writer. She has wanted to be a writer for as long as she can remember. 

But, she's scared. What if she isn't any good? What if people judge her by the stories she writes? Emma doesn't know if she should choose a traditional corporate career path or if she should swallow her fear and give writing a try.

Emma needs to decide soon because her parents keep nagging her. SHE WANTS TO TAKE CONTROL, but she's scared.

Meet Zoey

She's spent her 20’s working odd jobs even though she has a degree in English. Secretly she has always wanted to be a writer. 


The thing is she couldn’t find a job at a newspaper, or in publishing, or even at that dreaded online publication. But, she had to pay the bills, so she just sort-of fell into admin work. She’s constantly bored but also always busy. She can’t get a single minute to herself to write. Actually she can, but she’s in such a slump that she spends all her free time on Facebook and watching Friends reruns.

Unless Zoey wants to remain in admin, she needs to do something. She needs to start writing. BUT HOW?

These woman all have one thing in common, a dream and the need to change that dream into a reality. This book, will guide them through writing and finishing their books.
