Unbound are highlighting (https://unbound.com/books/stim/) a book which should find a natural readership on this forum.
For those unfamiliar with Unbound, they are crowdfunding publisher and Stim is currently 22% funded. The book will only go ahead if it is at least 100% funded. Anyone may pledge and there are various options (depending on the book). For Stim the lowest pledge is £10 (which gets you a digital copy of the book plus your name in the back of the book) and the highest pledge is £5,000 (which gets you 25 e-books, 25 limited edition hardback books and more). There is also a 'low earner level' pledge of £12 (which gets you a copy of the first edition hardback, an e-book and your name in the back of the book).
The web page contains a list of the book's contributors and the editor provides al ink for people who might wish to contribute to the contents of the book.
I have only pledged support for one book so far and that was Dave Hill's (of Slade) autobiography; I even received a Christmas card from Dave Hill!
Hi. I’m am creative in nature but poor in execution. I have ideas for books and tv series etc, but putting pen to paper never does it justice.
Any tips?

Hi Matthew,
The most important thing to discover when you want to write something is whether you are a plotter or a pantser -- do you need to know exactly what's going to happen or do you like letting your characters decide the course of the plot. Perhaps you are the former, like me.
I recommend looking into some writing books to help you understand a bit more about how you work. On Writing by Stephen King is very well liked across writers.
