Award-winning Australian author Richard Harland, best known for his cult novels The Vicar of Morbing Vyle, The Black Crusade, and his latest release, Worldshaker, has compiled an exhaustive list of writing tips for aspiring authors.
Harland's labour of love is a 145-page website of tips for fantasy, speculative fiction and genre writers - and its free.
Harland says he took four months off from his own fiction writing—“it started out as a small service to the writing community and just kept growing and growing!”
The tips range across all levels from basic to advanced:
(i) Good Writing Habits, getting feedback and revising;
(ii) Action, Setting, Dialogue and presenting Inner Thought;
(iii) creating Characters and character’s point of view;
(iv) Story from beginning to climax, narrative momentum and pacing;
(v) Language, style, first-person narration, names and titles; and,
(vi) Getting Published – how the publishing system works, how to break into it and what happens afterwards.

Excellent. I'm always on the hunt for sites such as this, so I can absorb more points of view on the craft. Thanks a whole bunch for sharing this. I've already bookmarked it.
