Many dream of getting their novel published, somewhere, someday. I can never forget the huge excitement I felt in November 2010 when my debut novel, “It Can’t Be You” was launched. It was a dream come true. As you probably know, getting a novel published is much more difficult than it may seem to many. I learnt the hard way about the querying process, the need to write a crisp synopsis, how a back cover copy can make a huge difference to you book sales and how the book cover has a major role in the reader’s purchase decision. You will find posts on these topics in my writing blog, “Writing To Be Read.”
Today, I would like to share a few links from where I learnt some excellent tips:
- Literary agent Madeleine Milburn who is based in London has some great stuff on Writing Best Selling Fiction. Each tip is seemingly small but so very significant.
- iUniverse has 20 Writing Tips from 12 Fiction Authors.
- Now Novel has some tips from best-selling author, Dan Brown.
I hope these links will give you fresh insight and renewed enthusiasm to write that novel. I gained from reading these tips. I hope you will too.
