Writing Tips
for
Beginning Novelists

by Raina Lynn


This page was begun on June 6 and will ALWAYS be under construction, so pardon the mess! Many of the articles are incomplete, but I wanted to offer a little something under as many headings as I could to get things started.

Incomplete articles will be fleshed out over the next few weeks. New articles will be added, so please check back regularly to see what's new. If there's a subject you'd like to see addressed here, please email me, and I'll see what I can do.

You are welcome to print out any of them for your personal use. I only ask that my byline and bio remain intact. None of the articles may be printed in newsletters, magazines, websites, etc., without permission. Email me.
