Book Reviews of Novelist's Boot Camp: 101 Ways to Take Your Book From Boring to Bestsell
Book Review: An Excellent Tool for Novelists
Summary: 5 Stars
Todd Stone's 'Novelist's Boot Camp' is a useful tool for the serious writer. Stone compares writing a novel to drawing up and following a battle plan, and the analogy works.
His advice is useful and, if followed, will result in a well-planned novel. The drills are short but none of them is a meaningless exercise...they are all a step in the right direction toward completing your novel. The drills are the meat of this book, and are workable tools for writing a novel.
If you're serious about writing, 'The Novelist's Boot Camp' is highly recommended.
Did I mention that the pages are all bordered in green? It is also illustrated with line drawings of military characters. And it is a durable hard cover just the right size to slip into a bag when you're travelling.
