Synopsis

You're ready to write your book, but where to begin? Characters? Conflict? Dialogue? Story arc? In a lot of ways writing your book is like building a home or raising your child, efforts of love and patience that are hard enough in their own right but almost impossible without having a blueprint or the examples set by some devoted predecessors to show the way. Writing your book sounds like work, and it is - but you can do this. Los Angeles Book Festival Finalist, 2015. Let's start.

About this title

Review

"Jack Woodville London has stripped away the intimidating mystery of good writing mechanics.  His presentation and explanation of the tools of the trade, grammar, structure, and above all, how to use words themselves, is clear, concise, accessible, and engaging.  His egalitarian use of examples ranging from high literature to bestselling potboilers is as entertaining as it is instructive. A NOVEL APPROACH fills is a useful reference for how to communicate using the written word."
-- DWIGHT JON ZIMMERMAN, #1 NEW YORK TIMES Bestselling Author, and President of MILITARY WRITERS SOCIETY OF AMERICA

"At Editing TLC, I work with clients who range from inexperienced writers to those who have taken the time to study the art of writing.  What I've discovered in A NOVEL APPROACH is a resource which will be on a suggested reading list for all of my clients--no matter where they fall on the writing spectrum.  The way that Jack Woodville London shares memorable examples from literature to hit home the concepts of writing is truly novel.  To me, it is what makes this resource stand above others and why I highly recommend it."
-- JOYCE M. GILMOUR, Editing TLC, editingtlc.com

"One author speaking with another, offering fabulous advice in a delightful read.  If you love to work with words, you will relate to the guidance and this book will make you a better author.  Most enjoyable."
-- DAN POYNTER, Author of SUCCESSFUL NONFICTION, IS THERE A BOOK INSIDE YOU?, and President of Para Publishing Company
