Summary

Do any of these sound familiar?

You want to write your first novel, but you don't know how to begin.

You've started writing several novels, but you never finish them.

You've written a novel or two, but you want to increase your output and publish more often.

If you answered yes to any of the above, this audiobook might just be what you're looking for!

I'm Simon Haynes, and I've been writing and publishing novels and short fiction for almost 20 years. This guide contains everything I've learned about writing a novel, both as an indie and as a trade-published author.

Maybe you want to write a novel which has been on your mind for years. You don't care how long it takes, you just want to see it through to the end.

Or maybe you see yourself as a career novelist - there's a real challenge - and you want to write books quickly and efficiently.

I've done both, and I cover both approaches in How to Write a Novel.

Easy to listen to and packed with ideas

I really enjoyed this audio book. Simon has practical tips and ideas for different styles and each time I paused listening, which was often, I had plenty to be using to help move my own writing on.

Highly recommend this book to those wanting to think about writing.
