Yes! No! But Wait…! is the most straightforward book on writing a novel ever published.
It is also the most practical, honest and useful.
Tim Lott admits he can’t teach someone how to write a novel (that’s one of the myths propagated by the novel-writing industry).
But he can help anyone construct a solid platform on which they can stand to discover whether they have the talent, will and imagination required of any novelist.
A distillation of a lifetime’s reading, writing and thinking about stories and how to tell them, Yes! No! But Wait…! is the one book any aspiring author needs.
Tim Lott is the author of ten novels and a memoir, The Scent of Dried Roses, which won the PEN/J.R. Ackerley Prize and is a Penguin Modern Classic. White City Blue won the Whitbread First Novel Award, Rumours of a Hurricane was shortlisted for both the Costa Best Novel Prize and the Encore Award, and his young adult book Fearless was longlisted for the Guardian Children's Book Award. He has been published in sixteen countries and has worked extensively as a screenwriter.
Tim has been teaching writing for the last ten years. He’s taught at the Faber Academy, Guardian Masterclasses, the Novelry and Brunel University. He has lectured at the University of East Anglia, the How To Academy, the Idler Academy and the School of Life.
