How to Succeed
as a Storywriter
What does it take to write books people want to read?
J.K. Rowling
Read, Read, Read
The world’s best writers are usually voracious
readers themselves. J.K. Rowling, the author
of the Harry Potter series, is a big fan of classic
English author Jane Austen. Rowling has read
Austen’s many books countless times.
Stay Focused
Good writing starts with good habits.
Carry a notebook with you to write down
story ideas as they occur to you. Block out
a half-hour every day to focus on your
writing. Just like playing a sport or a
musical instrument, discipline and lots of
practice will improve your skills.
