Where's Jane? by Rebecca Smith6/26/2023 ![]() ![]() “This book channels Jane Austen so convincingly I wasn't at all surprised to learn that Rebecca Smith is her five-time great niece. Austen was a creator of immortal characters and a pioneer in her use of language and point of view her advice continues to be relevant two centuries after her death.īursting with useful exercises, beautiful illustrations and enlightening quotations from the classic author’s novels and letters – and written by none other than Austen’s five-times-great-niece – this book will teach you her methods, tips and tricks, from techniques of plotting and characterisation through to dialogue and suspense. While creative writing manuals tend to use examples from twentieth- and twenty-first-century writers, The Jane Austen Writers' Club is the first to look at the methods and devices used by the world's most beloved novelist. Pretty much anything anyone needs to know about writing can be learned from Jane Austen. ![]()
