Instructions
Step 1
Before you start writing a novel, go to a bookstore and see which books are the best sellers. As a rule, romance novels sell well, but detectives are even better. So, you can't go wrong if you start writing a detective story, but with a love story. This will immediately increase your readership. It is important for any author that his book is read and preferably as much as possible.
Step 2
Don't tighten the book. Too thick work of a new author will not find many admirers. 300 pages is the maximum for the first book. Write in easy, understandable language. A sense of humor is encouraged, but in reasonable amounts. Do not neglect descriptions of the nature and character of the characters - what is usually thought to be scrolled through.
Step 3
Think over the plot. The more twisted it will be and the more unexpected the ending, the better. The golden rule of any novel is that no one should guess until the very end that "a murderer is a gardener." By "gardener" we mean that the riddle must be preserved in any case, no matter what genre you write in. It is desirable to expose the villains, to catch the criminals, to feed the poor, to send the illiterate to school. Those. the ending is better to be made good. And certainly the ending should be unambiguous - nothing scares off the reader like a novel with an unfinished end.
