HOW MUCH DESCRIPTION SHOULD MY NOVEL HAVE? Description is the seasoning that flavours a story. It’s the smattering of details that prevents your novel feeling bland. In the same way that just the right amount of carefully selected herbs and spices can bring a dish to life, the right amount of carefully selected descriptive detail can bring your novel to life. HOW TO WRITE POWERFUL METAPHORS The words ‘like’ or ‘as’ are used. A metaphor, on the other hand, tells us something is something else.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SHORT STORY AND NOVEL WRITING The biggest difference between a short story and a novel, though, is how deep the writing goes.

When I say novels contain more depth, I don’t mean they have more meaning.LIMINAL PAGES

I’ve edited 100+ manuscripts since becoming an editor in 2011, working with both self-publishing authors and publishing houses. Here are just a handful of books I’ve worked on. For each, I’ve either provided creative guidance or sentence-level editing (or both). Tony Faggioli – One Plus One. Lorna Reid – Darkwalkers. TEA AND COMMAS: THE FOUNDATIONS OF LINE AND COPY-EDITING Line editing looks at the flow and artistry of the sentences. Copy-editing looks at the mechanics. Proofreading is the final check. A proofreader works on typeset (designed) pages and checks that there are no lingering mistakes after the editing and typesetting process. Line and copy-editors work with text files, usually in Microsoft Word. HOW TO WRITE POWERFUL METAPHORS The words ‘like’ or ‘as’ are used.

THE DIFFERENT STAGES OF EDITING A NOVEL The Different Stages of Editing a Novel. It may surprise you to discover there are three stages of editing that a novel should go through before publication. The first looks at the big-picture, foundational elements (such as story, plot, characterisation, marketability, pacing, voice, etc.). The second level looks at the sentences and paragraphs. HOW I FEEL ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA Social media provides a platform for people who may find themselves shut out of traditional media. If you have something to say, social media helps get your message out.

In alternative reality, the present, the never-was and the future are the subject of speculation. The two strands are distinct (more on this shortly), but both share some common ingredients.

HOW TO USE ‘THE HERO’S JOURNEY’ TO STRUCTURE YOUR NOVEL The hero’s journey is a story structure identified by the American writer and scholar of mythology Joseph Campbell. And it can be a really great framework for novel writing.
