Top Five Writing Tips For Budding Authors of Lesbian / Sapphic Fiction

My Top Five Writing Tips For Beginners

  1. Writing a book requires dedication and discipline, so it’s important to establish a writing routine that works for you.
  2. Write from your heart and focus on developing your unique voice. Begin by drawing from your own experiences and emotions to create authenticity.
  3. Be open to self-editing! Not every character or idea in your initial draft will be a good one, and although it may be difficult to accept it’s necessary for improvement.
  4. Concentrate on the emotional journey of your characters. When they give in to their innermost needs these scenes are the critical turning points in the story.
  5. Remember, the journey to publication may be long so don’t lose sight of your goal and keep pushing forward until you reach The End.
