A Novel Approach

Description

A Novel Approach Jack Woodville London 2015 eLit Award Gold Medalist for Writing/Publishing Characters. Conflict. Dialogue. Story arc. Editing. You can do this! In many respects it's like building a home or raising a child, efforts of love and patience that are hard enough in their own right but almost impossible without a blueprint or the example of some devoted predecessors to show the way. The goal is to write a novel or a story, not to type a lot of pages and bind them. It sounds like work, and it is, but you can do this!   98 pages Published June 4th 2014 by VIRE PRESS LLC Review " offers a series of simple recommendations for writers looking for help in researching a topic, suggestions for maintaining motivation and advice on avoiding grammatical errors…The book's approach to fiction writing, particularly historical fiction, is on the whole reasonable, urging readers to develop literary skills by reading widely and evaluating other works… The book's brevity, also one of its assets, allows targeted analysis with a clear, incisive point regarding a scene from, say, Gone with the Wind. A brief but energetic guide that makes good use of sample passages to turn readers into practitioners of clear, effective writing.“ –Kirkus Review   ”Jack Woodville London has stripped away the intimidating mystery of good writing mechanics.  His presentation and explanation of the tools of the trade, grammar, structure, and above all, how to use words themselves, is clear, concise, accessible, and engaging.  His egalitarian use of examples ranging from high literature to best selling potboilers is as entertaining as it is instructive… A NOVEL APPROACH fills a more important need as a useful reference for how to communicate using the written word.“ – DWIGHT JON ZIMMERMAN, #1 NEW YORK TIMES Bestselling Author, and President of MILITARY WRITERS SOCIETY OF AMERICA ”…A NOVEL APPROACH is a resource which will be on a suggested reading list for all of my clients–no matter where they fall on the writing spectrum… Jack Woodville London shares memorable examples from literature to hit home the concepts of writing is truly novel.  To me, it is what makes this resource stand above others and why I highly recommend it." – JOYCE M.
