Mom, I'm Going to Write a Book! How to Learn to Write in Different Genres and Find Your Style

Can you write a second “Harry Potter”? Create a horror story that surpasses King’s mastery? Or write a dystopia more powerful than “1984”? Why not? Try it!

“Experience and sweat—this is the whole formula of success,” say Maya Kucherская and Marina Степнова—famous Russian writers and teachers at the Higher School of Economics. The graduates of their master’s program in literary craft became the main authors of this book.

They broke down nine leading genres of fiction into parts. In this audiobook, you’ll not only get historical background on the origin, formation, and deconstruction of these directions, but you’ll also learn to work in each of them yourself. It includes numerous examples from outstanding writers, plus instructions and assignments to help you create your own story.

Don’t be afraid to try and fail, to follow traditions and break them—just allow yourself to be a writer. And then, in your life, a moment will surely come when you can say: “Mom, I’m going to have a book!”
