How do you write a novel?

Many have the mostly secret desire to write their own novel.

There are tons of writing guides out there, but which one is the right one?

Note to our readers:

This changes nothing for you.

Every writing guide is different.

But how do you know which one is right for you?

Writing guides are not a panacea

Even if you buy and read all the writing guides, that alone will not make you an author.

But it can support you.

It also requires perseverance and a certain passion.

Writing a novel isn't a sprint, it's a marathon.

Choosing the right writing guide

Of course, you have to be aware of the nature of your deficit.

Otherwise you are quickly lost in the guidebook jungle.

Here are a few book tips:

  • If you just want to improve your style: Ludwig Reiner's "Style Guide" (advertising link) - with lots of exercises, but also a bit old-fashioned

  • Is it more inspiration and curiosity about how other authors fared:


    Stephen King's "Life and Writing" (promotional link) - in typical King manner, and Carla Berling's "Of Fighting and Writing - Ups and Downs of an Author's Career". “.

    (promotional link)

  • You can get all the necessary tricks, from A to Z, in “Writing and publishing novels” (web link) by Axel Hollmann and Marcus Johanus or in the e-book series “Heute schon wrote” (promotional link) by Diana Hillebrand.

Together faster to success

From experience, I can give you the tip to get involved in forums or author get-togethers.

Other authors will certainly have tips and suggestions that can definitely help you.

And nothing is more important than to network.

I wish you the best of luck with your book project.
