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:
-
Why write a novel-in-stories?: Author Laura Bonazzoli explains what a novel-in-stories is and provides some signs that you might be well prepared to write one (Women Writers, Women's Books).
-
Writing across difference: Writers David Corbett and John Copenhaver discuss how they approached telling the stories of characters with vastly different backgrounds than themselves (Writer Unboxed).
-
Perfecting the first chapter: Author Taylor J. LaRue analyzes the opening lines of nine romantasy novels to show how these authors have nailed that particular art (Writer's Digest).
-
Why every character arc needs an impact character: K.M. Weiland unpacks the function of an impact character (also known as a catalyst character) and describes some of the ways they can be presented (Helping Writers Become Authors).
