Advice on how best to write a book

by carol sunnucks
5th February 2015

My story is fact based on the story of a women going through pregnancy with her first child, how the medical community let her down, through physical and mental illness before and after the birth, the fight to get proper medical treatment and the legal fight to bring the NHS and the doctor to justice. My story is an account of how pregnancy is viewed in our society, how women are mislead into believing the advice given to them by so called professionals and how other doctors, lawyers, advocates try and cover each others back, it has been a fight over nearly 7 years that has taken everything from me, including my career, my very precious intimate moments with my son, and the aftermath that has been my life, I have never written a book or even contemplated it, but I believe enough people aren't listening to people and enough women are not being given relevant information to assist them throughout their pregnancies.

I would appreciate advice on how best to tackle this,

thank you

You know what you want to write about which is good. My only advice for you is to write a lot and read a lot. The more you do both, the closer you'll come to finishing your book.
