Your Expert Guide to Writing and Publishing a Novel

In this revised and expanded edition of Your First Novel, novelist Laura Whitcomb, seasoned literary agent Ann Rittenberg, and her knowledgeable assistant, Camille Goldin, team up to provide you with the essential skills needed to craft the best novel you can--and the savvy business know-how to get it published. Complete with updated references, analysis of new best-selling novels, and the same detailed instruction, Whitcomb will show you how to:

  • Practice the craft of writing, using both your right- and left-brain
  • Develop a flexible card system for organizing and outlining plot
  • Create dynamic characters that readers love--and love to hate
  • Study classic novels and story structure to adapt with your ideas

Featuring two new chapters on choosing your path as an author and understanding the world of self-publishing, Rittenberg and Goldin dive into the business side of publishing, including:

  • What agents can--and should--do for your future
  • Who you should target as an agent for your burgeoning career
  • How the mysterious auction for novels actually goes down
  • Why you should learn to work with your agent through thick and thin

Guiding your first novel from early words to a spot on the bookshelf can be an exciting and terrifying journey, but you're not alone. Alongside the advice of industry veterans, Your First Novel Revised and Expanded also includes plenty of firsthand accounts from published authors on their journeys, including Dennis Lehane, C.J. Box, Kathleen McCleary, David Kazzie, and more.
