The Paper Hearts series came from Beth’s desire to give back to the writing community. After years of posting articles and comments in answer to aspiring writers’ questions, Beth compiled the book in Wattpad. After more than 100,000 reads in Wattpad (and after fans started writing her, asking for a print edition they could take notes in), Beth rewrote the collection into a comprehensive book series with hundreds of pages of new content, practical advice, philosophy, charts, and more.

"Revis's book should find its way to the keeper shelf of both aspiring and accomplished writers."
-Publisher's Weekly
PRAISE
"Each book [in the Paper Hearts series] is refreshingly well organized and accessible. ...Revis gets straight to the heart of matters such as story structure, offering tools and sample outlines. The books are very much focused more on the 'how' to write than the 'why.'"
-Joanne O'Sullivan, Asheville Citizen Times
“Her frank advice on what has worked and not worked for her will prove comforting to writers prone to second-guessing themselves and their talents, and her practical “what to do if” appendices will help many to solve writing challenges.” —Publisher’s Weekly
"This is the book I wish I had read first when I started writing several years ago. Instead I have dozens of books on writing that do offer good advice but fail to do what Beth Revis has done so well here: straight up honesty about writing and being a writer."
