Hi, I’m Lizzie Jay, a fantasy and sci-fi author who struggled so much when I first started to write seriously. I picked things up here and there from searching on the internet and through trial and error. 

Now that my books have been published, I wanted to put all the bits and pieces I have learned about in one place in the hope that it could help someone else in the position I was in a few years ago.

If you have the desire to write but don’t know where to start, my posts on Writing should help get you going or try the Getting Started tab in the menu. (Don’t forget to download my free book to help you find the time to write.)

If you’re already onto the next stage, there is plenty covering the Editing process and there is also information for when you are preparing to publish and beyond.

If you want to get in touch, I would love to hear how you’re getting on with your writing or if you are having problems or even if you just want to say ‘Hi!’

(I am also a freelance writer and I have a website at LizzieJay.com which deals with that part of my life.)
