 Novel Writing and Editing - Concept to Query
Platitudes, entitled amateurism, popular delusions, and erroneous information are all conspicuously absent from this collection of detailed novel writing guides and maxims. The goal is to provide you, the aspiring novel author, with the skills and knowledge it takes to realistically compete in the commercial book market of the 21st century. Begin the journey with Labors, Sins, and Six Acts that includes an overview and linkage to the best of AAC and Novel Writing on Edge. Keep in mind that all of it is critical and pretty much non-negotiable.

This forum grouping also contains some of our favorite and most useful content archives collected over the years. "Bad Novel Writing Advice" is designed to assist writers in avoiding counterproductive "advice" from writer groups, amateur websites, and other bad sources. "Art and Life in Novel Writing" provides a balance of important advice from critical perspectives, and "The Short and Long of It" from our resident sage, Walter Cummins, delivers classic perspectives on novel writing that are often neglected.

Quiet Hands, Unicorn Mech, Video Critiques, and More

Reviews, Commentary, and Plenty of Controversy
Entertaining and extremely useful novel analysis in Audrey's Corner based on contemporary best sellers and popular books in a variety of genres; Writing With Quiet Hands: a novel writing advice column by legendary agent, Paula Munier; and Unicorn Mech Suit, a diverse collection of SFF interviews and insights. And don't neglect our most popular archive forum of all wherein our resident geniuses dissect and discuss novel writing videos from a number of sources--unquestionably worth a rant or two. Just ask Stephen King who hates plotting.
