Released in April 2012 by Ruby Barnes, The New Author is a self-help guide to novel writing, social networks for authors and epublishing.
With foreword by Jim Williams, author of ten internationally published novels including Booker Prize nominated Scherzo.
The New Author is an excellent piece of writing, combining deceptive simplicity, lucidity and charm: a trick which in practice is very difficult.
Barnes explicitly warns against the trap that engagement at the required level can become obsessive and time consuming, and in a couple of nice vignettes he makes his point with wit and style. The New Author is a terrific companion for independent e-publishing and I recommend it.
