Janet Evanovich, author of the Stephanie Plum novels and the Alexandra Barnaby books, along with non-fiction author Ina Yalof and Janet’s daughter, Alex Evanovich, put together an audiobook guide to show how Janet generates her creative writing ideas and what the life of a full-time writer is really like. It’s called HOW I WRITE: SECRETS OF A BESTSELLING AUTHOR and it’s read by Janet Evanovich herself (along with the other two authors.)
For anyone who enjoys the Stephanie Plum books (starting with ONE FOR THE MONEY and now up to LEAN MEAN THIRTEEN with a few ‘between the numbers’ books in the meantime) and would love to be able to know just how Janet Evanovich does it, or for anyone who is thinking of writing a book of their own and is looking for writing tips and tricks, this is an invaluable reference.
You get the inside information on just how Janet thinks up those hair-raising plots, her techniques for revising and editing, and what she would tell an aspiring author about the publishing industry. (Having worked with my mom on submitting things to agents and such for some of her writing projects, ANY help from established people in an industry is a big PLUS, especially SUCCESSFUL established people, so this is definitely useful info to hear.)
At 4 and 1/2 hours on 4 CDs, this is an audio book you can listen to on a long car trip/commute, leaving you time when you come home to put these ideas into practice. You might not reach Janet Evanovich’s level of popularity, but her creative writing ideas can only help you reach your own potential as you apply them to your own projects.
