This is a guide written by an Australian for all aspiring Australian writers, providing practical advice and strategies for writing that novel you've dreamed of for so long.
In down-to-earth and conversational style, the author:
- Tells you how to make sure you are writing the novel that publishers - and readers - really want.
- Shows you how ideas for plots are everywhere.
- Provides examples and illustrations.
- Takes you step by step through the development of her own first novel sharing the lessons, the problems and the breakthroughs that resulted in a book which became a world-wide bestseller.
- Gives advice on the business side of writing.
Australian publishers now actively seek to develop their own lists of local popular writers, and Jennifer Bacia tells you everything you need to know to write the kind of novel publishers can't get enough of.
