Description

During the week Robert J. Ray was a teacher. On weekends he learned the fiction writer's craft and produced his first novel. He ended up selling six books in six years. The same success as a writer can happen to you. His step-by-step program, the same one he uses himself and teaches in his popular fiction-writing class, organizes your writing around the weekends. Each weekend you work through the basics of character, scene, and plot, the construction of the novel in scenes and chapters, and the actual writing and editing of your book.

Media reviews

A 52-weekend course that takes you, step-by-step, through the task of completing a novel.

This book is okay. It has some very helpful tips on writing novels. It also gave me some ideas for writing a novel one day

Best book on writing.

I won't rate this one, because I didn't come close to finishing. A little too basic for me.
