Default Re: So I want to Write a Book

Don't want to take the wind out of your sails, but you need to do a little more research if you seriously want to do this. A statement like "Rarely is there a fictional book on WWII" is patently not true; you would only have to spend half an hour on Amazon to see this. There are literally thousands of fictional stories about WW2, many of them have been made into films (by the way all 'novels' are fiction...).

I would also advise you to go and take a creative writing course if you are unfamiliar with the process of writing; writing is something you just can't 'do'. Plus it is a journey fraught with disappointment, as any author will tell you. And it's far harder to get published if it's a novel you do intend writing, as for every novel published there are probably a 100,000 submitted to publishers.
