About this title

Review:

"[A] hilarious, wickedly observed and deeply useful guide."--The Observer, review by Kate Saunders

"The teaching of creative writing just entered a whole new era with the publication of How Not to Write a Novel. Heavens, what a joy this book is...."--Lynne Truss

This writing how-to should carry a warning: it's the kind of book one reads at the expense of other responsibilities....a surprisingly distinctive approach within the crowded category of novel-writing guides.--Library Journal

"Sandra Newman and Howard Mittelmark have produced an invaluable guide."--The Independent

Authors and editors Mittlemark and Newman identify writing pitfalls in each aspect of novel writing.... A great resource, this tongue-in-cheek guide is a fun read with a lot of solid advice for would-be novelists.--Publishers Weekly

Book Description:

'Chummy in tone ... most enjoyable are the passages from spoof novels illustrating common mistakes'
