Writing Your First Novel is written for aspiring writers of fiction. As a practical guide it succinctly covers key points including: characters, dialogue, descriptive passages, love and sex, grammar and punctuation, and promotion and marketing. Examples to illustrate the key points are drawn from Reynolds two novels (Uncommon Enemy and Robyn Hood: Outlaw Princess) and from a wide variety of other writers from a range of countries and backgrounds. This practical book is one that writers will want to return to again and again as they develop their own writing ability.
