Holly Lisle is the author of over 30 novels and has been writing her dream for 16 years. She has dabbled in everything from science fiction, fantasy, and urban fantasy, to suspense and paranormal books. She has also written for the young adult market.

In 1994, Holly was signed to co-write a novel called Glenraven with Marion Zimmer Bradley. As things turned out, Holly ended up writing the entire book herself when Zimmer Bradley fell seriously ill.

Holly has created a great deal of high quality resources for writers as her way of paying forward what she has learnt over the years of her career.

To get a taste of what she offers, download the free introduction to Holly's Create a Plot Clinic right here. This introduction is the first 50 pages of her Plot Clinic ebook, and this alone will keep you busy for weeks.

Another free ebook that Holly offers is Mugging the Muse. This book is packed with great advice and chat from writer to writer - Holly makes you feel like someone out there understands what you're going through.

Finally, Holly has just launched her comprehensive audio and written course on How to Beat Writer's Block. Holly says: "I realized that I'd won my dream, but I was letting it slip away from me. I'd beaten the slush pile, I had a stack of signed contracts and a stack of waiting deadlines. I'd conquered the odds millions of other writers were still fighting against, and I was letting my shot at my dream die... And I said, "The hell with this."

Holly developed three techniques: one to reconnect with the muse, to instigate a meaningful conversation; the second to get that useful information down on paper as quickly as possible; and the third to kickstart every writing day and get the juices flowing without pain.

Holly's How to Beat Writer's Block course sells for US$59.95. In addition, she's offering a special deal of 50% off her four Clinic books together with the Writer's Block course. The Clinic books are usually $9.95 each, but for $79.95 you receive the Writer's Block course, Create A Character Clinic, Create A Plot Clinic, Create A Language Clinic, and Create A Culture Clinic.

This is well worth it, and I've grabbed a package for myself. Read my full review of How to Beat Writer's Block by Holly Lisle
