Write Better Fiction with Shirley Jump 13 June 2025 14:12

Do you want a career as an author? Do you want to know how to know how to sell 8 million copies of your books? Do you want to know how the New York Times bestselling authors do it? This channel is for writers who want to learn how to write better fiction, or simply want to take their book to the next level. I’m a New York Times bestselling author who has published more than 80 books in 24 countries—after having 10 books rejected. I want to teach you EXACTLY how to write a compelling, believable, reader-favorite novel! 

👱‍♀️ About Me: I’m Shirley Jump, a New York Times, USA Today, Amazon, Publishers Weekly, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of 87 books published in 24 countries. I’ve worked for most of the big 5 New York publishers and have self-published, so I’m a bit of a hybrid author. I’m currently writing for Harper Collins and Hachette, and working on a brand-new series with you guys on this channel. Literally writing the book with you all! Look for my how-to book, Writing Compelling Fiction, on Amazon. 

🫤 How’d I Get Here? I wrote TEN books in 8 years before I sold my first one. I was rejected from pretty much everyone in the business, and even quit writing for a while because I was so disheartened. It hasn’t been all rainbows and unicorns since that first sale, which is why I’m here to help you learn how to write a better book, so that you can avoid the tough-knocks road I took. So come write with me, and let’s write a better book!

Write Better Fiction with Shirley Jump 11 June 2025 09:00

What happens when your research takes over? #summeronshorts 

Do you want a career as an author? Do you want to know how to know how to sell 8 million copies of your books? Do you want to know how the New York Times bestselling authors do it? This channel is for writers who want to learn how to write better fiction, or simply want to take their book to the next level. I’m a New York Times bestselling author who has published more than 80 books in 24 countries—after having 10 books rejected. I want to teach you EXACTLY how to write a compelling, believable, reader-favorite novel!

👱‍♀️ About Me: I’m Shirley Jump, a New York Times, USA Today, Amazon, Publishers Weekly, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of 87 books published in 24 countries. I’ve worked for most of the big 5 New York publishers and have self-published, so I’m a bit of a hybrid author. I’m currently writing for Harper Collins and Hachette, and working on a brand-new series with you guys on this channel. Literally writing the book with you all! Look for my how-to book, Writing Compelling Fiction, on Amazon. 

🫤 How’d I Get Here? I wrote TEN books in 8 years before I sold my first one. I was rejected from pretty much everyone in the business, and even quit writing for a while because I was so disheartened. It hasn’t been all rainbows and unicorns since that first sale, which is why I’m here to help you learn how to write a better book, so that you can avoid the tough-knocks road I took. So come write with me, and let’s write a better book!
