REVIEW:
The creation of a novel is something that many of us would love to do. Yet where do you start as there’s so many different methods out here and not everyone will work for you. What this title does is take you by the hand and introduce you to the basics from getting down and persevering with your script right the way through to the later stages such as submitting and who to submit too. Whilst in some respects it a more slim line version of the Writer’s Digest Writers Market it does offer some solid advice that works extremely well for the UK market.
All in a decent book that will help you more in the later stages rather than the early ones but the motivation is there to help get you started in the first place. Decent enough although I’d say that this title is more a companion to another title such as Writing the Paranormal Romance (or a title specific to the genre you wish to write in) rather than a pure standalone.
