Write Reviews to Improve Your Writing
Publishers, editors and agents recommend writers read as much as possible. One way to accomplish both reading and writing at the same time is to write reviews. Reviewers learn what works and what doesn’t. They can see how:
- Conflict
- Intrigue
- Tension
work.
They will improve their:
- Characterizations
- Setting
- Story arcs
and overall technique.
Goodreads.com, amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com are places to post reviews. Another is in local newspapers by local authors or visiting authors. I have just finished reviewing three books for The Sun News, myrtlebeachonline.com, in Myrtle Beach, S.C. I probably would not have picked up the books otherwise, but I learned so much from reading them.
Try it. You are sure to improve your writing.
