How to Write a Novel

You’ve probably said at some point, “I should write a book.” You have a great idea for a novel, but that’s all it is right now. An idea. Now that you’re ready to sit down and write it, where to start?  You stare at your blank screen and come to the realization that all the ideas, all the words, have to become formulated into a cohesive manuscript.

The key to writing a first novel is “to write about what you know.” It’s much easier to write about characters and a subject where you are the master. You will never be short of ideas, themes to explore from the start to the end of your story. Famed author Roald Dahl once said, “I don’t care if a reader hates one of my stories, just as long as he finishes the book.”

This book will guide you through the steps you need to craft a cohesive structure, from developing your characters, organizing your ideas, creating the elements of your story, to writing a complete first draft of your novel.

It contains numerous examples that you can learn from and more than 30 exercises to practice and progress step-by-step at your own rhythm, with your own novel.
