I looked at various programmes that you can get, some free, some you pay for, but I decided just to use a word document. I have the navigation page on all the time when writing as it is really easy to flick through chapters, as you will find yourself wanting to add/remove bits as you go along. If you choose heading style 1 (see those squares at the top of the bar?) that will automatically put them in the navigation page. When you have finished a chapter, just right click on the ‘Chapter 1’ in the navigation pane and you can add another chapter. If anyone wants more info and will use it let me know and I will try and do a video of it!!!
If you click on the tidy little open book symbol bottom left, this bring up the ‘Editor’ this looks like it will be really useful when it comes to editing the book, might not be quite a good as an expert! but I certainly think it will be useful to those of us that it doesn’t come as second nature to edit our work (me)
Hope that helps, if you need any help, leave a comment and I will try!

I live in Nottinghamshire, after living in various parts of the UK, including Wakefield, York, Derby, and the Yorkshire Dales. I enjoy reading, writing (of course), travelling, socialising and my new interest is… Kayaking!
So far in my writing journey…
A Christmas Wish is my third self-published story, which came about after I’d published a Game of Souls in December 2018. I had a lovely chat with a friend of my Aunties, he asked me to write a Novella about a nice spirit. This led to me writing ‘A Christmas Wish’.
My short story, A night lost to the past, won third place in the Newark Book Festival 2018 writing competition, which was run by the Fosseway Writers group. This was well received, and many readers asked me to develop and expand the story. I completed regular instalments, which I published each week on my blog. It is now available as an eBook. In 2020 I’m planning to further develop this story into a novel, which will be set in Newark on Trent, in the present day and also in the English Civil War.
I'm currently submitting my psychological thriller to agents and publishers. I’m planning to write a series based predominately in York, Jersey, and New Zealand. Book one and two are finished, book three will be finished in 2020; hopefully!
In February 2019 I was lucky enough to travel to New Zealand. During my time there I wrote a journal about our 42-day adventure. This will be published in early 2020.
I started a blog at the very beginning of my writing journey, it tracks the ups and downs of trying to get published. I need to mention that my blog posts are usually visited by ‘Brackets’ I will let you find out about him when you read it!
