The publishing experts we follow have plenty of craft advice to offer.
Here are the ones that we thought were can't-miss for our authors:
-
How to write convincingly from a child's POV: Even if you remember childhood vividly, your adult self is providing a lens through which you view those memories — so try these three exercises from author Sage Tyrtle to actually write the way a child would perceive and describe the world (Writer's Digest).
-
Cause and effect in Pride and Prejudice: Jane Austen's writing has endured, unlike many other authors', because of her storytelling skill; book coach Robin Henry shows how this particular novel uses cause-and-effect perfectly to power the plot (Jane Friedman).
-
The reverse outline: Desmond Hall explains what a reverse outline is and describes two different styles of approaching it (Writer Unboxed).
