review 1: Maybe best for a beginning writer, someone looking to write their first novel and being a bit overwhelmed by how to start. Anyone who has written a novel might find some useful tips and ideas, but perhaps have already developed their writing routine.Mr. Bransford writes in an entertaining, light, humorous style, and he gets his points across without belaboring anything. Each rule is well-considered and concisely defined. A fast read and a great reference tool for when you get stuck on a certain part of the novel writing process.
review 2: A terrific little book on writing the novel. It gives practical advice on how to write a novel, how to push past hurdles and how to effectively revise your work once you've finished it. It is a very helpful resource for aspi... morering writers. Now, it does not go into depth about characterization, plot, setting, and the like, although there a "rules" that touch on those topics (you'll need a different book if you want to go in-depth on those topics). However, what it does is give you advice on how to start (and how to finish) your novel, what pitfalls to watch out for, and how to power through your novel even when writing is a slog. I intend to put his advice to work by starting my first novel and I now feel far more confident that I can complete the project than I was at the beginning of the year, so if nothing else, Nathan Bransford's book has given me a boost of confidence--enough for me to actually try to write a novel. less
