The Novel Writer's Toolshed for Short Story Writers: Writer's Toolshed

The second book in the toolshed series and originally written as a series for Writers' Forum Magazine, this snappy no nonsense guide has been expanded, amended and updated. Using examples from her own published work, Della Galton explains how to make the leap from writing short stories to writing a full length novel.

Subjects covered include: How do you know if you have a big enough idea? How exactly does a short story character differ from a character in a novel? Will your plot go the distance? What should be on your first page?

Della Galton is a working writer and agony aunt for Writers' Forum. She has had three novels and over 1000 short stories published.
