Violette “Vee” Davis
Book Coach & Developmental Editor
I believe authors don’t need more marketing advice. They need a clearer path to writing books their readers will love.
Own your genre : find your fandom
Genre is your North Star.
Why? Because genre’s the shared language between you and your readers–and the most powerful tool you have for writing and revisions.
Whether you write romance, thrillers, or mysteries, truly embracing your genre will guarantee you find the readers who will love your book—and tell their friends to buy it.
Master your craft: write an unputdownable book
Story is more than a plot. It’s a journey of change. No matter what genre you are writing, your story is ultimately about the specific struggles of your characters.
Refining your protagonist’s goals and conflicts to reflect both their internal and external struggles will fortify your story—and make your novel stand out among the masses.
Build your process: build your career
Writing should be fun!
Okay, well, it can also feel like the world is ending, but we spend hours a day writing or thinking about writing, and therefore it should be something positive in our lives, not something we dread.
Use tools, not rules, to develop your own process, voice and confidence to write your next book.
