Writing Fiction For Dummies - Free On Kindle
Now I don’t know if this is a mistake or not but Amazon currently has Writing Fiction For Dummies free for the Kindle. (note: there is a Kindle reader for Windows, Mac, iphone, ipad, ipod, blackberries, and android.)
Being a “for dummies” book you know it’s going to have both a lot of humor as well as useful information in it so could be worth the cost of… nothing.
A complete guide to writing and selling your novel
So you want to write a novel? Great! That’s a worthy goal, no matter what your reason. But don’t settle for just writing a novel. Aim high. Write a novel that you intend to sell to a publisher.

- Self-Editing Your Novel: Psychoanalyze your characters to bring them fully to life; edit your story structure from the top down; fix broken scenes; and polish your action and dialogue.
