How to be an author - Vol. 1: Writing Your Writing: Everything you need to know to get going, keep going and get that manuscript finished!

4.9/5 (19412 ratings)

Description:This book will take you through the steps from being a writer to becoming an accomplished and published author. Follow the chapters in easy to read style and you'll get that manuscript out of the drawer onto a publisher's PC and possibly in print form in no time at all. Here's a chapter by chapter breakdown: Chapter 1 Typing Your First Lines: Encourages you to find out why you want to write, how to find the passion, meaning and reason in the tale you want to tell and how to prepare yourself to write. Incidentally, my background in psychotherapy has helped me to understand how food and fluid influence your moods and what to do to find the best for you and these are explored here. Chapter 2 Fact & Fiction: Once you’ve discovered why you want to write, you need to know what kind of writing you want to do, fact or fiction. This chapter covers how to get started and how to organise yourself in order to get things done. It explores what authors mean by their ‘voice’ and how to write – for you. Chapter 3 Digging Up The Archives: Gives you an idea how to research, what to research and why to research. While your own knowledge can back you up so far, the facts and figures that you dig up are there for a reason. Particularly if you are writing a non-fiction book. Chapter 4 Dreaming & Scheming: Explores planning your writing and how to plot your story. It discusses viewpoints, how to write a plot on a page, how to see where the bigger picture is in your story by joining the dots and how to quickly construct each chapter by creating and expanding paragraphs. Chapter 5 Beginnings, Middles & Endings: Gives you information on how to construct your beginning, the middle and the end of your book. It shows you the need for a shape to your story, how your story can be moved along, which type of story to choose and how you can build suspense through your narrative. It discusses how drama and emotion are created and how to do that most important of all things in a story – end it. Chapter 6 The Writers Dance: We discuss how to pace your novel. How fast or slow do you want the reader to read the whole book, each chapter, or each scene? Also explained is how to show the reader what your characters are going through, rather than telling the reader what is happening. Chapter 7 People & Places: Focusses on people and places – i.e. the characters in your plot and the settings that you want them to perform in. It describes what main and stock characters are and a little on the psychology of the emotions, mind and behaviour. Also, a chapter on people and places wouldn’t be complete without discussing the character’s point of view. Chapter 8 Speeches & Soliloquies Characters need to be expressed through the dialogue they use and this is explored in Chapter 8. You’ll probably have noticed there’s a difference between actors in the US and actors in the UK, the types and reasons why are explored here. How people speak tells a lot about what they are thinking and this is a particularly useful tool to be aware of. Quoting people who are alive today, i.e. relatives or famous folk, means that you will need to be aware of what you say about them and how you get your sources, so this is explored here too. Chapter 9 Drafting & Revising: Explains what to do when drafting and how to revise your work. Who you send your drafts to is incredibly important and it’s essential that you get this right, or you may be unnecessarily deflated by the response you receive. Chapter 10 Skip To The End: Discusses how to end your story. Knowing when to stop is as important as knowing where to begin. While some of the obstacles you may face during your writing have been discussed in this introduction, in the final chapter, I cover a note on dreaded rejections. Let’s face it, you’re going receive them. So you need to know how to deal with them. A free Resource Guide comes with this book.
