Writing a Novel Just Got Easier

You know the toughest thing about novel writing? Knowing where the heck to begin.

There’s no shortage of great writing advice out there. What’s harder to find is great advice on what to do first, what to do second, and so on… all the way through to the end. That’s where Novel Writing Help comes in…

• It’s easy to understand. I’ve assumed no prior knowledge whatsoever, and tackle every topic right from the roots.
• It takes a step-by-step approach. Writing fiction is only difficult when you try to do everything at once. I’ve broken down the entire process into do-able chunks.
• And it’s free. So jump right in – the water’s warm!

So Who Am I?

My name is Harvey Chapman and I’ve been teaching the art and craft of novel writing since 2008.

I also love reading and writing fiction (when I can find the time). But it’s the theory of how novels are built that has hooked me from an early age. You know all those writing guides you see in the stores? I’ve been reading them since I was in my teens. I’ve also analyzed hundreds of published novels for technique. And I’ve done plenty of teaching, so I know where beginners need the most help. And Novel Writing Help is the result. Here’s how I want you to think of me… Imagine I’m a friendly stranger you meet in a bar. We get chatting over a drink and you tell me you’re thinking of writing a novel. “I know a thing or two about that,” I say.

“Really?” You sit up straighter in your seat. “I’m listening!”

So I talk. And everything I tell you is right here on this site. And it doesn’t even cost you a beer!
