Getting Started
The blank paper or computer screen is on front of you.
You want to write something but you are not sure how to start… Your leaning might be towards poetry or short fiction or perhaps you have the plot of a great novel in your head and you are ready to seize the moment and create the written word.
How do you organize your thoughts, characters, setting, plot and all the elements that go to make a story or poem? For you we have created the 'Getting Started as a Writer' series. The series are written by well known authors and are a step by step guide to help you achieve your writing goals. The initial series include Creative Writing, Poetry and the Novel. Later guides covering Short Fiction, Popular Fiction, Travel Writing and Memoirs will be added.
Each guide draws on the author's experience and provides a simple, easy to follow route map to get the best out of your writing ideas.
