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?

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". “.

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.

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.
