You may or may not like his books, I suppose it depends on your taste in books or genres, but Nicolas Sparks has found success on a grand scale. We can’t argue with that. He was also generous enough to include a section on his website for aspiring writers. This is what I love about writers, they are usually quick to help and support each other.
On Sparks’ website he has a section entitled writer’s corner where you can find advice from mastering the craft, to writing query letters, to his long road to publication. I think it’s definitely worth a read.
So, what are you waiting for? Click here and away you go…

I have so much respect for writers like Sparks (and King, who actually wrote an entire book "On Writing" that I found to be invaluable) who are so willing to help out those of us trying to get a foot in the door. Thanks so much for sharing : )
I've read his website before and do appreciate the stuff for authors. I feel bad because I can't stand his books. Or perhaps I'm blind with jealousy. lol.
Thanks for the link. It's so true we can learn a lot from other writers. Lol, T. Anne, I complain to my husband about Nicholas Sparks all the time. His stories have potential, I say, but his writing style and characters are irritating! It's just personal taste, however, and he is obviously reaching people with his writing, so good for him!
But he's successfullll! ;-) What can we learn from him?
Oh, wow! Thanks for the link. I enjoy his stories, although most of them are very sad. Sad is okay. It has its place.
I love his books
Grateful for you writing this blog
