Description
By Sofía Segovia, author of The Murmur of Bees, the bestselling novel with more than a million readers around the world. If you can't find the book you need, then write it yourself. I say this as an invitation, to spark your sense of adventure. To remind you that the authors you admire so much were first and foremost readers, too, before they published their books. So, what are you waiting for to take the next step? The good news is that the world always needs stories, even better if they're yours. This manual will help you navigate the writing journey with confidence and discipline. From Reader to Writer will help you decide which genre, characters, dialogue and descriptions are best for the story you want to tell. You'll learn which techniques work and which don't and should be avoided. You'll find examples from world literature and exercises for developing your skill and reaching your full potential. Turn the page and add your voice to the range of human stories. - Sofía Segovia
