Paper
Hearts by Beth Revis is an amazing and helpful read for readers and writers
alike. I, as a blogger, found this book very interesting because it gives you a
deep view of the process of writing, and I found myself noticing things I didn’t
notice before about the books I’m currently reading.
The
first time I read Paper Hearts was via Wattpad. But when I found it on NetGally
I discovered it has extra content and that was even better.

different things. Just by reading the first volume, you have all the tools you
need to write a very solid first draft. Beth Revis explain perfectly various aspects
like tense, voice, world-building, character development, etc, etc. Even I
