Pickpick

This book covers everything to do with novel writing.

It's ideal for beginners, such as myself because you get to learn the basics but also for more experienced writers looking to keep their skills sharp.

The chapters cover different aspects of novel writing and can be read in the order that interests the reader.

I've read a few similar books, this one is the best.

TheNeverendingTBR @Reggie I've been wanting to do it for years, procrastinating though! 🙃 Trying to get a better idea on it before starting. I've spoken to numerous authors who say I should just dive into it. I think I'll give it a try this year, I've a couple of ideas. 2y

I don't purchase books often, but when I do I make sure I get a lot of mileage out of it. And I couldn't resist adding to my bookmark collection.
