No five lines of advice have built more successful writing careers than Robert Heinlein's five rules for writers. Whether you are new to writing or the author of many books, Heinlein's Rules will help you bring your craft and career to the next level. This book delivers the rules in a series of practical lessons, each with exercises designed to help writers build the Rules into their own work-flow. Unlike most "writing rules", which tend to stifle creativity, Heinlein's Rules are focused on unleashing the most creative elements of our minds, combating our deepest and most crippling fears, and driving past the greatest obstacles most writers face to reach success. In this book you'll learn:

  • What Heinlein's Rules are, and how they can fit into YOUR writing career.
  • Tools for better engaging your creative mind and shutting out the editorial voice while writing.
  • Methods for identifying and facing down fears that block your way.
  • Chapters on practical application, with examples drawn from the author's own thirty-two-book career as a bestselling novelist.
