Don't just check this book out of your public library. If you truly have the desire to become a novelist, you should own it! There is a wealth of information covered, from suspense to characterization to marketing your manuscript. If you could only have one tool to hone your writing skills, be sure that you have this book!

Full of excellent advice. This handbook carefully analyzes every facet of the craft so you don't have to. In one place it says you should allot 2000 hours to write a novel. If that's true, 2000 hours without this book's advice is a waste. Although most of the articles included mention that novel-writing is a process, that your first one will be, ah, less than perfect, I can't help but think that after reading this, I can avoid many of the pitfalls. I would give this book five stars if there were more actual examples of flawed writing improved. But that's almost nothing; this handbook truly is a vital tool. Just reading authors' advice is enough to get your own ideas boiling. I've developed my thoughts more today, reading this, than I have in months with the idea.
