BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO FICTION WRITING by Raheemah Odusote - Paperback

This book follows the protagonist Sumaya alias ’Maya on how she grows, learns and navigates her writing journey to become an award-winning author.

It tackles mindset, the ‘why’ for writing a book, the steps to take before writing a book (brainstorming, mind mapping, outlining), character development, setting and emotion crafting, and the relationship between a mother and a daughter.

Practice lessons and exercises have been provided at the end of each chapter as well as recommended reads where necessary to make the lessons more practicable.

Questions such as how do I start? What do I write about? How do I organise my ideas? And many more are some questions the book gave simple answers to.
