Ian Carroll is an author of both fiction and non-fiction. Having written books that were published, self-published, and some of which never even left his desk drawer, Ian has fully experienced the writer's journey, and he now wishes to share it with new writers. Indeed, one of his books was a 2019 Daily Mail book of the week.

Aside from books, he has also written plays – both originals and adaptations – that have been performed at some of the biggest theatres in the UK, as well as writing screenplays for the big screen. Join Ian as he details his 30-year writing career and the lessons he has learned along the way.

This book contains advice and encouragement, helpful tips and commentary, about what it is to be – and to want to be – a writer.

So, You Want to be a Writer covers a wide range of topics and discusses different genres, formats for writing, how to overcome obstacles, and explores the many avenues that will hopefully lead you to success. Short, succinct chapters cover areas such as: How to get a Publisher; Copyright; Self-Publishing; Adapting Books; Writing Fiction and Non-Fiction; Agents; and much more.
