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:
-
Character secret thesaurus: Becca Puglisi helps you envision what your character's black market purchase would mean for your novel (Writers Helping Writers).
-
Crafting archetypal arcs with Enneagram insights: While using either of these systems independently is a perfectly good tool for your novel, K.M. Weiland breaks down how the two can work in tandem (Helping Writers Become Authors).
-
Show, don't tell, by scene segmenting: C.S. Lakin explains how to focus on the purpose for each action, reaction, and scene, in order to immerse your reader in the character's point of view — therefore showing them, versus telling (Live Write Thrive).
-
Writing with a plan but not a map: Liz Michalski shares her silver linings to spending too much time on a novel that was headed in the wrong direction (Writer Unboxed).
