Do you have a story you want to tell? Do you dream about writing a novel “someday”?
We know it’s hard to finish a first draft. To stay motivated until the end. To feel like a “real” writer. We know because we’ve been there too and have learned how to take a spark of an idea and transform it into a published novel.
In Go Teen Writers: Write Your Novel, you’ll learn:
- How to take an idea and give it a beginning, middle, and end.
- What story structure means and how it strengthens a book.
- Different approaches to plotting a novel. (There’s no one right way to write a book!)
- How to develop characters worth reading about.
- Strategies for creating memorable storyworlds and settings.
- What theme is and how to use it to enrich your story.
- What to do when your first draft is finished.
Learning to write a novel is challenging, but with this book as your guide, you’ll have the tools you need to finish what you’ve started and write The End.
“This is it. A go-to writing craft book I can recommend to ANY writer! Go Teen Writers: Write Your Novel is easy to read, but rich and thorough with content. Even as a multi-published author I found myself jotting down notes, quotes, and coming away inspired to write! From writing craft to author doubts this book covers writing from head to heart. There’s no doubt I’ll be rereading this one. An absolute must-have for all writers young, old, beginner, advanced, human or cyborg.”
