Writers' & Artists' Guide to How to Write
How to plan, structure and write your novel
Description
How to Write is all about writing for publication, it concentrates on advice on how to construct, craft and draft novels across all genres, but the examples and details on what to consider when writing for any audience means it is relevant to writing in all its forms, including books for children and non-fiction.
The advice and techniques suggested in this book have been tested in practice by author William Ryan, successful novelist, and creative writing tutor at City University and Guardian Masterclasses and are an extension of the 'Your Novel' writing course he has delivered with W&A over several years.
