Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

You want to write, but how do you get started and keep going? What do you choose to write about? How do you find the right words, the language, the imagery? How do you work out plot, characterization, dialogue? How do you research the past for an historical novel or piece together the puzzle for a crime story? How do you approach publishers once it's finished? And how have other women writers, past and present, tackled some of the issues you will face? "Because You Want To Write" is a creative writing book that combines practical, down-to-earth advice on the techniques of writing with an in-depth exploration of the history and background of individual genres, from autobiography to science fiction. Exercises and strategies to help you develop your writing skills are complemented by an analysis of different writing forms and how women writers have used them - from P. D. James and Delores Komo to Maya Angelou and Marge Piercy.
