Title: Upbeat, encouraging guide
Review: Without being preachy, this book walks you through the basics of writing a chick lit (or any) book...making your characters believable, crafting a likable yet lovably flawed protagonist, ensuring that your character has grown or changed by the end of the story, creating interesting dialogue, drafting a query letter that will grab an agent's attention, and avoiding common stereotypes/pitfalls. The authors, who have experience as writers and editors, include insightful sidebars ("words of wisdom", "mistakes I've made") and pepper the text with interesting quotes from chick lit authors on handling rejection, etc.As the Amazon reviewer pointed out, the tips here are relevant to writing all types of fiction.Wholly recommended if you are interested in writing or getting your novel published.
