There’s an enormous pleasure in creating a world from inside your mind that is totally different from anyone else’s. As a writer, you are never alone: the characters in your short story or novel will buzz around in your head, a second family, some lovable, some less so, but all interesting.
In this comprehensive book Joy Wodhams, author of ten novels, former magazine editor and creative writing tutor for nearly three decades, will show you how to find and adapt ideas, how to create real three-dimensional characters and how to plot and plan your stories, with guidelines and encouragement along the way.
