strategies & tactics
for the master novelist
Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let
your methods be regulated by the infi nite variety of circumstances.
—Sun Tzu
Successfully starting and fi nishing a publishable novel is often like fi ght-
ing a series of battles. You not only have to work hard to shape memorable
characters, develop gripping plots, and craft dazzling dialogue, but you
also have to fi ght against self-doubts and fears. And then there’s the chal-
lenge of learning to navigate the ever-changing publishing industry.
That’s why best-selling novelist James Scott Bell, author of the Write
Great Fiction staples, Plot & Structure and Revision & Self-Editing, came up
with the ultimate novel-writing battle plan: The Art of War for Writers.
You’ll fi nd tactics and strategies for idea generation and development,
character building, plotting, drafting, querying and submitting, dealing
with rejection, coping with unrealistic expectations, and much more.
With timeless, innovative, and concise writing refl ections and tech-
niques, The Art of War for Writers is your roadmap to victory.
