Hi. I’m Lou. I’m a novelist (amongst other things!) and a writing tutor. I live on the (sometimes) sunny south coast of England. A few years back I wrote the first ‘small steps guide’ and in How to Write a Novel and Get It Published I apply exactly the same ideas to the process of planning, writing and publishing a novel. These are accessible techniques that you can start TODAY – simply by taking small steps.
