If you want to learn how to plan your fictional world, develop characters, write your novel, and publish your book, then check out HowExpert Guide to Novel Writing.

How did famous authors write their books? How did they build their career from nothing to a massive franchise? “They worked very hard,” some say. “They’re naturally gifted,” others may say. “They’re lucky.” These explanations don’t feel satisfying. They make authors feel far away from everyone else. They have decades of experience and many hit titles. It feels like it’s nearly impossible to catch up.

However, most people don’t know that there’s a method to this madness. There’s a pattern to what becomes famous and what flops. It takes hard work to write a book, but there’s a technique to it. It takes great writing to be beloved as an author, but great writing can be taught. Anyone who has enough drive can become a fantastic author with the right guidance.

This guide provides a brand-new perspective of how to write, publish, and market a book. It takes the classic writing formula and challenges it because famous authors are anything but traditional. Join us as we dive deep into the most iconic authors of our time and the secrets to their success. There is a method to the madness, and you can learn to do it too.

Check out HowExpert Guide to Novel Writing to learn how to plan your fictional world, develop characters, write your novel, and publish your book!
