    If you want to learn how to plan your fictional world, develop characters, write your novel, and publish your book, then check out HowExpert Guide to Novel Writing. 
    How did famous authors write their books? How did they build their career from nothing to a massive franchise? “They worked very hard,” some say. “They’re naturally gifted,” others may say. “They’re lucky.” These explanations don’t feel satisfying. They make authors feel far away from everyone else. They have decades of experience and many hit titles. It feels like it’s nearly impossible to catch up. 
    However, most people don’t know that there’s a method to this madness. There’s a pattern to what becomes famous and what flops. It takes hard work to write a book, but there’s a technique to it. It takes great writing to be beloved as an author, but great writing can be taught. Anyone who has enough drive can become a fantastic author with the right guidance. 
    This guide provides a brand-new perspective of how to write, publish, and market a book. It takes the classic writing formula and challenges it because famous authors are anything but traditional. Join us as we dive deep into the most iconic authors of our time and the secrets to their success. There is a method to the madness, and you can learn to do it too.

    The France Alphabet is a wry, informative handbook for the discerning international traveller on how to handle the French. It offers essential A-Z insights into France and its ways through a snap alphabetic look at characters, traditions and historical events that together get to the essence of who the French are. France's best known writers and thinkers over the centuries come under the handbook's microscope with a light, challenging touch, as do world figures like Napoleon and Joan of Arc as well as France's role in high fashion, sex and the art of staying slim. For newcomers to France, indeed also for those already acquainted with its ways, The France Alphabet gives fresh insider counsel on how to discuss these things, some extremely touchy, when in French company. Each A-Z feature, from A is for Art, through R is for Revolution to Z is for Zola is the selection of English author David Lawday, who has long made France his home and has a French wife. Each one - with a brisk commentary and matching cartoon - epitomizes what it is that helps make the French the way they are.

    The Halo Effect - How First...

    First impressions are powerful, shaping how we view others and influencing the course of relationships, careers, and countless daily interactions. Within moments of meeting someone, our minds form lasting judgments about their personality, abilities, and intentions. This cognitive phenomenon, known as the Halo Effect, demonstrates how a single positive or negative trait can influence our overall perception of a person or situation, often without us realizing it. 
    The roots of the Halo Effect lie in our evolutionary past. Early humans relied on quick assessments to determine whether someone was friend or foe, a survival mechanism critical for navigating uncertain environments. Although we no longer live in those circumstances, this instinct to make rapid judgments persists. A confident handshake, an engaging tone, or even a well-chosen outfit can create an impression that shapes interactions long after the first encounter. 
    What makes the Halo Effect so pervasive is its ability to affect areas far beyond its origin. A charismatic leader may be assumed to be more competent simply because they appear confident. A teacher’s initial positive impression of a student can lead to more favorable evaluations throughout the year. Even brands use this effect by associating their products with appealing celebrities or influencers, leading consumers to view the brand itself in a more favorable light.
