WRITE ON!
So you want to write a novel, your story, your life, your memoir, autobiography or your family history. WRITE ON! is written by published author and speaker, Graham Sclater. This book will answer many of those questions from development, characterisation, dialogue, research and so much more. Graham Sclater has published seven novels, written numerous film scripts and television series. He can be frequently heard on the radio, where he has a monthly slot reviewing his chosen novel of the month which is aired on radio stations around the world. He also speaks regularly at libraries, literary festivals, writing circles and on cruise ships where he delivers creative writing sessions.Graham said, “When I began to write this book I made the decision to keep the processes simple while at the same time helping new writers to create something they can be proud of and to release the creativity that most people have in them.” He continued, “A blank page or empty computer screen will go nowhere, you firstly need to fill those spaces and continue to work on them. Remember, you can only edit something that already exists.”Graham continued, “I use Microsoft Word for my writing but I have met many writers who use alternative software or hardware such as iPads and tablets. Please bear in mind what you read in this book works for me and has enabled me to write and publish those novels, many in different genres.Lastly, if you are not computer literate, it shouldn’t stop you writing your book. Write it longhand and then have someone type it up for you.This book is written just for you and, although you may certainly find alternative ways to write your novel or story, whatever way you decide to do it, I wish you the very best of luck with your writing.”Graham Sclater
