Nina Munteanu

Get Published, Write Now!

Nina’s guide to writing The Fiction Writer: Get Published, Write Now! has been adopted in schools and universities throughout North America for their writing programs and forms the basis of her modular workshops. Praise has been generous:

“The Fiction Writer is at the top of the required reading list for my students…A veritable cornucopia of hands-0n help for aspiring writers of any age…The quintessential guidebook for the soon-to-be-published.”–Susan H. McLemore, Language Arts Instructor, Glynn Academy

“Nina Munteanu’s The Fiction Writer is the book I wish I had 15 years ago.  Writers young and old can find ways to improve their work, with the book’s fun, easy to read format.”— Theresa Vinson, Book Seller

“I’m very impressed… Nina shares the hard-won knowledge she’s accumulated…I’m thoroughly enjoying the book!”— Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo and Nebula award-winning author of Rollback

“Although aimed at the writing student, this is a handy book for the emerging or mature writer as well, as it is a great resource to refresh one’s mind on every aspect of the writing process…I am keeping this book at my desk as I plunge into the writing of my next chapter.”—Shane Joseph, author of After the Flood.

“Beautifully informative!”—Brady Frost, blogger

“This is an inspiration for me. It’s so motivating to read…and get hyped for the work ahead.”—Greg Lindenbach, writer

“We use this book weekly in my Writer’s Workshop class, and it gives us all the right tips to write like a professional author. It is written with a direct, clear style that enhances our understanding and helps us to truly grasp the concepts presented. The chapters are brief and concise, and really help us write both fiction and nonfiction. We have learned how to properly use dialogue, create characters, and find our “muse.” I would highly recommend this book for anyone hoping to enhance their writing.”—Mark J. Bujold, writing student, Glynn Academy, Saint Simon’s Island, GA

“High energy writer and teacher of writing Nina Munteanu is an upbeat coach for new and published writers seeking to refresh their art. She relates tales from her own experiences to personalize her frank and helpful advice on getting published. I particularly liked how she focuses on writing good stuff, though. Her light-hearted “alien’s perspective” complete with cartoon character combines with her sense of humor and cheerful tone to make the book a positive experience. Short sections. Snappy chat.”—Lynda Williams, author of Okal Rel Series.

“Nina’s writing style is engaging, enlightening, and enjoyable. And like the good Doctor’s Tardis, the book is larger than it appears – how she is able to distill as much as she does in 266 pages is a testament to her writing abilities. As others have rightfully stated, it is chock full of ideas, checklists, advice, and exercises. I have six book shelves at home (and about as many at work) devoted to books on writing and the teaching of writing covering all the writing genres. Before Nina’s book, I was getting rather bored with them. But after reading excerpts of Nina’s book on her blog, I just had to check out the entire text.
