Several years ago, Go Teen Writers by Jill Williamson and Stephanie Morill was published. Now they are revising this awesome guide and republishing it, complete with a new cover!
I'm a little late to the game, but I thought it would be fun to participate in their cover reveal.
So here we go!

I love the artsy, writer-ish look!
I'm no book writer, and I'm certainly not looking to get published at all (unless it's my illustrations in a children's book or something), but I've read most of my sister's copy of the original version of Go Teen Writers, and I found it really helpful in understanding the publishing world, as well as writing in general. It honestly was a big help as I critiqued my sister's novel, and also now as she tries to publish it. I can understand her techniques, the "rules" of publishing, how she plans on marketing her book and how I can help, etc. So I can honestly say, if you're a writer or just want to understand the publishing world, this is the perfect book for you! Seriously. It will help so much, especially if your goal is publication.
It will release November 2, but you don't have to wait until then to begin reading. Click the link to download three chapters, completely free!
Back Cover Description:
You know your first draft has problems, but what’s the best way to fix them? How do you know where to start editing? Or for many writers the bigger question becomes, “How do I know when I’m done?”
Popular bloggers Stephanie Morrill and Jill Williamson have been where you are, and they want to help you understand, and even come to love—yes, love—the editing process.
In this revised and updated edition of Go Teen Writers: Edit Your Novel, you’ll learn:
· Methods for efficiently editing your novel.

Teaching yourself how to edit a first draft can feel hard, discouraging, and isolating. But using this guide, you’ll feel as encouraged, empowered, and capable—as if you had a writing coach sitting alongside you.
