Do you want to write a novel... and get it published? Do you need help with structuring your ideas? Do you want to deal effectively with publishers and agents?

Drawing on his own experiences and on those of a host of successful writers, Nigel Watts takes you through the process of writing a novel, from the germ of an idea, through developing plot, character and theme, to editing and presenting the novel for publication. He gives sound practical advice on how to get started and how to keep going if you experience writer's block. Each chapter features a comprehensive range of examples to illustrate key points and ends with suggested exercises to develop your own writing skills.

Nigel Watts, the author, has taught creative writing since 1989, the year in which he published his first novel, "The Life Game". Since then he has published three more novels as well as children's fiction.
