Getting started; five things to look for in a book
1. An original idea.
2. Always ask yourself if a story is interesting or saying something new.
3. ‘Show don’t tell writing’. Great authors sentences won’t tell you anything but will evoke, implicate, imply, hint at, stimulate and suggest.
4. Look at how the plot being moved along. Is it moved by the characters, by the narrative, by the writing style or something else….and does this work?
5. Is there a central theme? If there is take a look at it and see if it is strong enough to carry the whole story? Is it sufficiently researched?
