Are you writing a novel? Do you want to make sure you finish? Most books on writing will make you read hundreds of pages about character arcs, inciting incidents, heroes’ journeys. It’s great to know that – but it's not writing. And how do you use this learning? Nail Your Novel is a writing mentor in a book. In 10 steps it will tell you how to: * shape your idea * use your research * write when you’re stuck * polish your manuscript * approach publishers and agents. Thumbnail Notes give tutorials about storycraft – strictly when you need them. You don’t even need to read the whole book before you get started. Read a section, then do as it says. Don’t procrastinate with another theory book. Don’t get stuck and throw your hard work in a drawer. Nail your novel. The author is a senior book doctor for a major literary consultancy in London, writes fiction under her own name and has ghostwritten bestselling novels for household names.
