I was scrolling through the series of 30 novel writing tutorials we published here on HTWB a while ago and thought how difficult it was to find them in order, so I have listed them all here for you to use. It will make it a lot easier for you to go through the course in the correct order. As always, there’s no charge.
It’s an excellent course written by novelist and publisher Lucy McCarragher, who re-edited and eventually turned it into a book which, if you prefer, you can buy here.
It’s well worth working through these in order without skipping any, even if you just read through the text rather than using sections as a basis for exercises.
