Can Writers Of Thriller Novels Learn From Film Directors? By: James Marinero | - Last night I watched Pulp Fiction, again, and it struck me that maybe as a thriller novel author I could learn from the director, Quentin Tarantino.

I'm certain that there are other films whichhave adopted this structure, with a fractured and re-circulating timeline, howeve ...

Writing Women's Fiction By: Harry Bingham | - When new writers don't get taken on by literary agents, they often complain, "So-and-so never even read the whole thing." Whenever we hear that, we know that person hasn't understood some basic truths about the whole literary business.

Writing For The Fiction Market By: Harry Bingham | - The first crucial rule in writing to sell is a simple one: Know Your Market.

They're books which are mish-mash constructs, neither one thing nor another, pleasing no one.
To understand the market is simple. You need to go to a bookshop. Buy lots of book in your area. Then read them. I'm a ... Tags:fiction, crime fiction, writing, novels

That pattern can vary - I've seen book sold with no speciment chapters at all, and ones sold with 50,000 words of polished text - but that intro + three chapters + outline model is a reasonable one to follow.< ...

Getting A Literary Agent For Crime Fiction And Thrillers By: Harry Bingham | - It's easy to think that because you're writing a crime novel or thriller, you need an agent who represents crime thrillers. And that's logical enough ... except that isn't, as it happens, how the industry really works.

So you'd think he wouldn't be the right person to represent a gritty crime thriller - and yet he and his team have just ...

What Is Creative Writing In Non-fiction? By: Harry Bingham | - 'Creative non-fiction' is one of the trickiest terms in writing. Non-fiction means - duh! - being factual. Creative means - duh again! - using your imagination. Isn't that a conflict?
