The publishing experts we follow have plenty of craft and mindset advice to offer.
Here are the ones that we thought were can't-miss for our authors:
-
You don't have to use a three-act structure in fiction: C.S. Lakin provides alternative formulas and strategies for stories that don't fit neatly into the classic three acts (Live Write Thrive).
-
Epigraphs as a fun writing tool: Vaughn Roycroft explains why he uses chapter-opening epigraphs in his fiction (Writer Unboxed).
-
You're not failing to get published; you're building inventory: This post dates back to 2010, but the message remains sound — that no one's "debut novel" is really their first one ever (Anne R. Allen's Blog...with Ruth Harris).
