'After a number of years teaching writing courses and appearing at
writers' conferences, I began to see that creating a process book
utilising one of my novels as an example of each step of my process
might prove useful to people who are interested in novel writing or
in how this individual writer approaches the complicated task of
putting together a British crime novel.' As the author of
twenty-four novels, Elizabeth George is one of the most successful
- and prolific - novelists today. In Mastering the Process, George
offers a master class in the art and science of crafting a novel,
sharing her wealth of experience with would-be novelists, and with
crime fiction fans. Using her actual work to illustrate the various
steps of novel writing that she explores in this book, she
illustrates her points about plotting, characterisation and
technique with great clarity and generosity. Drawing from her
personal photos, early notes, character analyses, and rough drafts
for every stage of her novel Careless in Red, George offers us an
intimate look at the procedures she follows, from researching
location to imagining plot to creating characters to the actual
writing and revision processes themselves. At the same time, she
gives invaluable advice for writers about what has worked for her -
and what hasn't. Mastering the Process provides writers with
practical, prescriptive, and achievable tools for creating a novel,
editing a novel, and problem solving when in the midst of a novel,
from a master storyteller at the top of her game. Elizabeth George
has taught creative writing both nationally and internationally for
over thirty years and is the author of Write Away, described as
'one novelist's approach to fiction and the writing life'.
