    How I Write: Secrets of a Bestselling Author by Ina Yalof - Presentation Transcript

    1. How I Write: Secrets of a Bestselling Author by Ina Yalof Start Here How many people would kill to be a bestselling novelist? Especially one like Janet Evanovich.Writers want to know how a bestselling author thinks, writes, plans, and dreams her books. And they are primed for a book from Janet Evanovich that tells, in a witty Q&A format: • How she comes up with such remarkable characters • How she nails the perfect name every time • How she finds out insider details • Just how she sets up those masterful plots • What the life of a full-time writer is really like
    2. • What she’d tell an aspiring author about the publishing industry • And much, much more! This book details the elements of writing and publishing a novel, and addresses all categories of fiction—from mystery/thriller/action titles to romance; from stand-alone narratives to series. It offers practical and inspiring advice on such subjects as structuring a plot and handling rejection. And it combines one of today’s most successful fiction writers with a published non-fiction writer who teaches creative fiction. HOW I WRITE is the perfect reference for anyone looking to improve their writing, and for those fans who are hungry to find out more about just how Janet Evanovich ticks. Personal Review: How I Write: Secrets of a Bestselling Author by Ina Yalof As far as writing tips go, you will find the usual main advice on putting a story together, plotting, story ideas, setting and atmosphere, dialogue, point of view, etc. What is unique about this book is that you have the opportunity to get into the mind of one of the funniest and most successful authors around. Throughout the book Evanovich uses extensive examples from the Stephanie Plum series to make her point. Janet's daughter Alex is her webmaster, among other things. When the website was constructed in 1996, Alex began a question and answer series that is still going strong today. This book is constructed from those Q&A's, providing readers with the answers others have asked throughout the years. Along with the usual writing advice, Janet gives readers a look at a day in the life of a writer, and shares much information about her personal life. She shares how her career got started, the pitfalls to watch out for, and what's hopefully ahead for this marvelous writer. I strongly recommend this book to all Janet Evanovich fans as you will learn so much about the author and her family that you would not pick up elsewhere. How I Write: Secrets of a Bestselling Author
