Craft tips for authors: August 28, 2024

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 plot a novel: Dave Chesson recently updated his step-by-step guide for planning a novel (Kindlepreneur). 

• How to fix a boring main character: Colleen M. Story shares her experience with realizing her protagonist was dull and how she managed to save the story (Writers Helping Writers).

• How to move your protagonist from one setting to another (and why): It's said that moving won't fix your problems in real life, but author Lianne Dillsworth points out how it's beneficial to a novel (Writer's Digest).
