Synopsis: If you're nearly finished with your novel, you may be staring down one of the writer's toughest foes: doubt. In "Battling Doubt," John Vorhaus shares his candid advice on assessing whether your book is ready for submission and publication. This exclusive e-book offers practical advice on smoothing out those last few wrinkles, conquering your fears, and celebrating your completed novel.

John Vorhaus is the author of some two dozen books, including the outstanding novels Lucy in the Sky and Poole's Paradise, the classic comedy writing textbook The Comic Toolbox, and the unbelievably conceptual A Million Random Words. Strange as that sounds, it's not even the odd part of his resume, for he has also taught and trained writers in thirty-three countries on five continents (at last count) and created television shows in such exotic locales as Romania and Nicaragua. He tweets for no apparent reason @TrueFactBarFact, sells all his works at www.amazon.com/author/jv, and secretly controls the world from www.johnvorhaus.com.
