Ten Things About Writing

The bestselling novelist Joanne Harris’ advice to aspiring writers comes in ten chapters, each consisting of ten pithy tips. They range from the personal – motivation, time management, finding the right workspace and granting oneself permission – to creative aspects such as structure, plot, characterization, dialogue and point of view. The final sections cover finding an agent and publisher, rights, publicity, building a readership – and coping with rejection.
