This bundle contains three valuable resources for authors. Whether you are a potential author, an author just starting out or already an author; I am sure that these resources can help you in some way and will prove a worthwhile investment.
'How to Become a Successful TES Author - Step-by-Step Guide'
I began to produce resources for TES in August 2015. When I look back at my early resources I cringe! I made so many mistakes…. Since then I have come a long way and learned so much. One of my resources made over 900 sales in the space of a few weeks and earned nearly £2000 in royalties.
In this 23-page, step-by-step guide I share my mistakes and my successes to help you avoid making the same mistakes and to become a successful author sooner than you would have done without this guide. I do not claim to have all the answers and ‘my way’ might not be other people’s way.

The resource contains three ‘find someone who…’ statement sheets (with 25 statements on each sheet) and an eighty slide PowerPoint that can be used to introduce and explain the activity and the questions used. It can also be used at the end of the fact finding exercise to report back their findings. Instructions and suggestions for use are included.
