This is a very short book, written as a simple guide to writers who are writing their first novel. The writers who are more experienced may read it as a general review of what they have learned.

The facts told in it are universal. For example, for creating a character, “twenty random facts about him, which included his childhood history, mental issues and his thirst for power” or “Adverbs aren’t your best friends, so use them cautiously,” etc.

The book is readable with easy, clear, and flowing use of the language, and it can be read in one sitting.

Beginners who haven't read any how-to book on writing.

is Kate Sosko.

I only recommend it for those who have never written a novel. In fact, one can learn much more while doing the NaNo Prep here in WdC. The reading, however, is easy and fast. I think I read it in a half hour plus.
