A novel is a relationship, a place outside of time where both reader and writer are challenged and validated, stretched and rewarded. Richard Skinner believes it is your duty as a novelist to bring your whole self to the page to find your story, not force it to meet your reader in a spirit of openness. In Writing a Novel he offers up frameworks, strategies and stimuli to help you meet that duty, drawingon his deep experience as one of the UKs leading creative writing teachers. He covers the essentials narrators, character, setting with charm and rigour. But Writing a Novel is not a set of instructions it is a way of thinking, a conversation, a relationship in itself.
