Ghost Stories and How to Write Them

by Kathleen McGurl


If you've ever thought about writing ghost stories for women's magazines, this book is a 'must have'. My friend Kath McGurl (also known as Womagwriter) has a really strong track record of having ghost stories published in magazines like Take A Break Fiction Feast, and here she shares some of her secrets.

The book is a great mix of stories and commentary which between them will give you all the tools you need to give it a go yourself.

Written in a chatty no-nonsense style, this book is highly recommended.
