The Write Advice 042: ANNE FINE


Decide what kind of author you are (or what sort of book you're writing). If it's commercial, do the research. Otherwise, take Philip Larkin's advice: Write the book you would most like to read, but nobody's bothered to write for you.

And Muriel Spark said, write a book as if no one you know will ever read it. That can free you up to be emotionally truthful. And it's emotional truth that makes novels worth reading.
