The Everything Guide to Writing Your First Novel: All the Tools You Need to Write and Sell Your First Novel by Hallie Ephron

zhelana's review

3.0

Well, this was more useful than the last Everything guide I read, and did seem to cover just about everything from working with a literary agent to how to use commas. The thing is because it tried to do everything it didn't do anything in depth, and often offered just enough information to frustrate me that there wasn't more. I honestly can't remember any specific information that was given in this book as it sort of came in bits and bites. I guess it is time to read something besides these Everything Guides. Unfortunately, I bought a bunch of them in a bundle a while back. It might have been more useful if I had actually been working on my first novel, rather than my 8th.

I loved it. It was very insightful and didn't overwhelm me with info, like other writing books I've read. It was broken up in easy to read sections that gave you the bases of what you need to know. If you're looking for an introductory book to help get you on your feet then I recommend this book. If you're looking for something more detailed and specific then this book might not be for you.
