Most people sit down to draft their first fiction novel without ever having done it before. That sounds crazy, but it's true. The truth is that mastery of the English language doesn’t guarantee mastery of the novel writing process.
Great writers do one thing differently than everyone else: they study novel writing. They learn how to translate ideas into words. They discover how to craft expertly designed characters.
Now you can, too.
The Fiction Writing Maps explains the process by peeling apart the layers of novel design to expose the nuts and bolts of writing. Then we show you step-by-step how to plug your own ideas into that framework. The Fiction Writing Maps do what no other writing resource does...
