The Course for Beginning Authors

"Readers don't need to know this, but authors should be aware that a master of words is something more than just a person who wrote a certain story. Any normal person can write a certain story once in their life.... Most likely, it will be an autobiographical text and it will probably be quite good: after all, if you squeeze all the most amusing things from your life into a book, it should at least turn out not boring. A writer is something else. In this book, we will talk specifically about the things that make a writer different from everyone else." Character, idea, world, the story of your book, text structure, composition, genres - this, as well as how to work with a publishing house, what you need to know about copyright, advertising, and book promotion. Alexander Prokopovich is the editor-in-chief of "Astrel-SPb" (the "AST" publishing house), a writer and screenwriter, an organizer and teacher of the literary courses "Master of Text", the creator and producer of the literary award "Manuscript of the Year" and "The Scariest Festival".
