A great reference book on writing your novel! I started reading and had to stop to get my notebook. I actually took this book as I believe it was meant, as a writing course, better than the ones I had taken in college! Louise breaks every possible piece of writing successfully down from the very basics even though you might be aware of them (good reminder). The entire book is written with exercises to help you develop your tools and it is written in a very enjoyable and easy to follow way that I actually took notes in a notebook and highlighted notes on my kindle as well. Thank you for a wonderfully informative book, I learned so many things I either have never learned or have forgotten over the years. I highly recommend this book as a guide! – Amazon review of How to Write a Novel and Get It Published
