If you believe what they say, everyone has a book in them. This may be true, but it doesn’t mean everyone’s a good storyteller.

And it should have a hero or heroine who you can follow throughout the book and who goes on a character-building or life-changing journey – and comes out the better for it on the other side.
Secondly, it’s a good idea to know your audience. You should easily be able to picture your reader, and when or where they’re going to be reading your novel. Are you writing for men or women, teenagers or older people?
Thirdly, your novel ought to fit into a recognized genre. If you’re writing a crime novel, ensure it meets the expectations of your audience. Of course you can have romance and comedy in the story, up to a point, but these should be secondary to the main genre chosen.
Lastly, consider how you are actually going to write the novel. There are a number of methods to think about. Show how your character feels through their actions, not by telling the reader. It’s much better to write about someone’s hands shaking rather than simply stating, ‘He felt nervous’.
These are just a few key points. The main message is: work hard and never give up.
