FictionCraft is a collection of articles I wrote about writing the novel and getting it published. The content was based on my years of experience as an author, writing teacher, and publishing professional (I handled the marketing for a division of a large publishing company when I lived in New York City). When I was first getting serious about becoming a professional novelist, and finding most writing workshops uninformative, I longed to be taught the fundamentals by a professional. FictionCraft was my attempt to do just that for aspiring novelists looking for solid information that can help them both artistically and practically. This column appeared on the Erotica Readers and Writers website, where it has been archived (see the links below). I encourage you to check out ERWA if you're interested in writing erotic fiction. The articles, however, apply to all types of novels--literary, mainstream, and the various genres.
