Additional information
by Lawrence Block (Author)
"WRITING THE NOVEL FROM PLOT TO PRINT TO PIXEL is like having a pocket-sized mentor you can consult any time. Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy."-Alex Kourvo, Writing Slices
Lawrence Block is almost as well known for his instructional books for writers and his 14 years as a monthly contributor to "Writers Digest," as he is as a bestselling author and MWA Grand Master. WRITING THE NOVEL, his first book for writers, has remained continuously in print since its original appearance in 1978. Recently revised and expanded, each chapter has been updated, and Block has included essential information on digital publishing, self-publishing, how to get published, and the perils-and opportunities-awaiting debut and veteran novelists alike. Unlike so many advice-givers, Block doesn't tell you what book to write, or the one and only way to write it. He holds that every novel is different, and so is every novelist; his aim is to give you the tools to enable you to find your own way. You will find chapters on:- deciding which novel to write
- developing plot ideas and characters
- outlining
- rewriting
- getting published
- self-publishing
- and so much more!
