At the first sign of trouble in paradise, what do most newly married couples do? They stare at each other, slack-jawed, as though seeing each other for the first time. Here's a real issue, a seemingly insurmountable conflict, staring them right in the face; now, what are they going to do about it? They have no earthly idea.
"My parents divorced when I was eight," thinks one.
"My parents argue and fight and throw things," thinks the other.
They are ill-equipped, and once they realize the full extent of their ineptitude and poor training, it's too late. The wedding is over; all the guests have gone home. You can almost hear their mental anguish. No one told them about this part! No one said it would be this hard! They've got this enormous job to do, this marriage to build, and no one--no one--gave them any tools!
There are some things these couples should know. A whole book full of things, and here it is.

There are a lot of books on the market that can teach a person the basics of how to write. And there are a lot of books on the market that instruct in the traditional ways of being published. What is lacking, however, is a hands-on, reader-friendly book that gives beginning writers the tools they need to polish their work then send it out into the big scary world of editors and publishers in such a way that will give their work a good chance of being published.
