The publishing experts we follow have plenty of craft and process advice to offer.
Here are the ones that we thought were can't-miss for our authors:
-
How to use show, don't tell: Angela Ackerman reminds writers to use this principle of writing for more than just character emotion, to strengthen their stories (Writers Helping Writers).
-
Structural mastery is why the classics endure: David Griffin Brown and Michelle Barker encourage writers not to think of plot points as a paint-by-numbers formula and use two classic novels as case studies for how they can be used skillfully and creatively (Jane Friedman).
-
Consider your characters' ages: Tiffany Yates Martin lists examples of ways in which a character's age will affect how they behave in a novel (Writer Unboxed).
