Here are Lisa's top tips for the writers among you. Keep an eye out for our interview with Lisa coming very soon too.
Lisa's latest book is the marvellous THE MAKING OF US.
1) Carve out some time, at least an hour a day, preferably more.
2) Start. Keep going. Finish
3) Have some champagne.
4) Buy the Writers’ and Artists’ Yearbook and find some agents who represent writers you like. Send them a synopsis, three chapters and a friendly, unpretentious letter.
5) Keep sending it out for as long as you can bear it, taking on board any advice given to you in rejection letters. Advice in rejection letters is a good thing.
