Myth: writing talent is developed by simply writing. Fact: writing talent is developed through coaching and study. That’s why I created these workbooks as practical training guides with information to study, exercises to do, plus checklists and advice to keep you on track. – Laura

Are there going to be any more workbooks? What topic will they cover?
Hi Sierra. Yes. There will be another one in 2015 on basic steps and options for getting published.
Do you sell your books as a set? I have two aspiring teen writers, one who is twenty thousand words into his novel and I see a Christmas Box set in their futures.
Michele Carlon
Hi Michele. I certainly can. Please email me your request – laura@laurathomascommunications.com – and I’ll do that for you.
When is the fifth book coming out?
#5 write a novel
Hi Andrea. I am planning to have the novel writing workbook out in time for NaNoWriMo, so hopefully by mid-October this year.
What will be the Workbook #2 about?
Hi Akshta. It’s called Polly Wants to Be a Writer WORKBOOK #2: Write an Essay. It will take you step by step through the process of writing a formal essay for school or work. The draft is finished and has gone out for proofreading. Then it goes for art and layout. It should be available in the LTC store by the end of the month.
Ohhh…looks good
I am definitely interested!
Thank you!

Today is my birthday!
Just bought Workbook #1 and started using the six-step process. It’s so handy! I have it open as I type to remind me to keep my dragon muzzled before the editing and proofreading stage. The exercises are fun to do and the illustrations are fantastic. Definitely something I wished I had before. Keen to get the next one!
