How to Write a Great Novel - E-book - ePub

Although there are no reliable statistics, it is known that each year more than two million books are published in the world, and approximately 24% correspond to stories and novels. Unlike earlier times, publishing literary works is not so difficult. Furthermore, books aren´t totally dependent on publishers' approval, due to the emergence of resources and opportunities that didn´t exist before (including computers, access to immense volumes of information and the self-publishing sites).
In this regard, the big problem that affects many authors of novels (especially new ones) is how to write a text of this nature, which depends mainly on the resources and skills of its creator. Based on my experience, the purpose of this book is to give the essential recommendations to develop a great novel, which will improve the skills of the writer, considering: a) the beginning (main theme, secondary theme and meaning), b) the characters (name, role, communicative ability, vision and their dialogues), c) the development (place, linear and circular time, structure and striking writing), and d) the background (main and secondary meanings).
Likewise, it is expected that these recommendations will benefit many authors and allow them to create great novels...
