{"product_id":"life-writes-suzanne-ruthven-9781846948534","title":"Life-Writes","description":"The second most common question a writer is asked is, 'where do your ideas come from?' (The first is, 'Do you make any money from it?') Experienced writers don't go looking for ideas; ideas come to them. An experienced writer just has the knack of spotting what makes a good story or what will make a good story once it's been given the right spin, because none of us, if we're honest, will let reality get in the way of a saleable piece of work. Editors are looking for an element of action, drama or surprise, even in non-fiction. It's what catches their attention and makes them pause to read further; and the key to any editor's heart is originality. Not necessarily a new departure in style or genre, but a refreshing and original slant on a popular theme. Life-Writes helps you to find and develop ideas with editor appeal.,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Suzanne Ruthven\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1846948533\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781846948534\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Compass Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Suzanne Ruthven","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48519533658367,"sku":"9781846948534","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_83ff96fe-0154-4f47-834e-34e479a08e0c.jpg?v=1778737689","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/life-writes-suzanne-ruthven-9781846948534","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
