From today's Independent newspaper, yet another article discussing what it takes to write a bestseller:
The secret of how to write a bestseller
There are some great common sense comments made in passing by journalist Andy Martin, but offhand I can't think of any other area of the arts and employment that generates as much advice on 'how to' as writing a book. I'd hazard a guess, that there are more authors making a living lecturing and running writing courses than there are earning a living from their own titles.
Incidentally, Andy Martin recently released a book on how Lee Child writes a Jack Reacher novel:
Reacher Said Nothing: Lee Child and the Making of Make Me by Andy Martin
