I created an account with Hub Pages to write articles pertaining to writing tips. In a series of articles, I plan to detail the steps to take when it comes to writing a novel, from the beginning to the publishing stage (and beyond!). Check out the first article where I outline the basics at Hub Pages to see the kind of tips I give. The articles included in this series will be:

1. Step 1: The Spark
2. Step 2: Planning
3. Included with planning are characters, setting, and plot, which will each get their own articles
4. Step 3: Research
5. Step 4: Write
6. In between writing and editing is formatting, which will also receive its own article
7. Step 5: Editing
8. Step 6: Publishing
9. Step 7: Marketing

All of this information is what I have learned through classes, interning with Get Book Savvy, and personal experience. I’ve shared some tips with friends, fellow authors, and readers alike; now I’m laying out the entire process for everyone else!
