"After writing eight novels and four nonfiction books, I noticed the same questions kept coming up from other writers: How do I structure my story? How do I make my characters feel real? How do I actually finish this book?" says Carey. "I realized my screenwriting training gave me a framework that most novelists never learn. This guide bridges that gap. It's the book I wish I'd had when I started."

.The book is intended for fiction writers, screenwriters, and anyone crossing between formats. Inside, readers will find practical exercises, writing tips, publishing insights, and a roadmap to successfully query or self-publish, ensuring they can finally finish the story they've been trying to write for years.
