About this title

Synopsis

Eliminate that "where to begin?" trepidation that can ruin the novel-writing process. The You Can Write a Novel Kit gives you all the tools you need to turn your idea into a salable novel.

Veteran novelist James V. Smith breaks down the novel-writing process into easy, manageable steps and provides you with five distinct guided notepads to help you put your story together. They include:

• Scene Development: Outline your crucial scenes to keep your story on track
• Master/Major Character: Know what makes your main characters tick and how they move your story forward
• Minor Character: Make sure each supporting player has a real part to play
• Chapter Log: Maintain continuity from scene to scene and chapter to chapter
• Revision Tracker: Keep notes on what you want to revise and how you plan to go about it

Plus, with the You Can Write a Novel instructional book, you can refine your fiction techniques using Smith's timeless writing advice and strategies, such as an idea-scoring system, forty cardinal writing rules, and much more!
