	First novel in English - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		There are multiple candidates for first novel in English partly because of ignorance of earlier works, but largely because the term novel can be defined so as to exclude earlier candidates:
		The phrase "first true novel" is probably an indication that "novel" is being carefully defined so as to exclude earlier candidates than the one the writer has in mind.
		Due to the influence of Ian Watt's seminal study in literary sociology, The Rise of the Novel: Studies in Defoe, Richardson and Fielding (1957), Watt's candidate, Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe (1719), gained wide acceptance.

	first novel
		The novel is differentiated from its predecessors by its internal cohesion, its emphasis on a tightly orchestrated plot and action, its realistic portrayal of characters and situations.
		The novel thus has its origin in the attempt to regulate writing, to propose a correct and decorous means of taming the potential dangers of the written word.
		The novel's hegemony has recently been questioned by John Barth, who announced the death of the novel, and its "demise" has inspired the writers of the new novel, the post modern novel and hypertext fiction.

	Xbox.com :: Halo: Spotlight: Book Report: First Strike
		Nylund's first novel set in the Halo-verse simultaneously laid the foundations for the origins of the SPARTAN program, gave us all our first in-depth look at the man under Master Chief's helmet, and blew readers away with the intense, desperate battle against the Covenant that led the Pillar of Autumn to Halo.
		First Strike is even better in almost every way, and lets newcomers to the novel series jump onboard.
		So, in a titular theme that will recur throughout the novel, Master Chief decides to lead all of the survivors in a first strike against their enemies—they must capture a Covenant ship and get Cortana's Halo data (and mankind's first-ever look at Covenant starship tech) back to Earth, pronto.

	Justine Larbalestier - First Novel Delirium
		When your very first novel is finally, finally (!) available in real shops and libraries for actual people who don't even know you to purchase, borrow and maybe even read (!) then damned if you aren't compelled to shout it from the rooftops.
		My first novel, Magic or Madness will be officially released into the wild in the USA on the 17th of March (the Australia edition comes out in September).
		Many first novels sell poorly, rarely earning out their advance, and boy do I know just how small those unearned-out advances usually are.

	Writing Your First Novel (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Most novels begin as an idea, which may be a special character, a setting, a conflict, or a challenge for a character.
		But a daydream is not a novel or a story unless it has conflict between characters, a change of events or relationships over time, and a resolution.
		Your novel will be better reading if your protagonist has some internal conflict, too, something in him that fights his getting what he wants.

		Our goal is to bring you novels that you might otherwise never have found, but that embody all that is enchanting in a well told story.
		They are hungry for success and spend years researching, developing, writing, and rewriting their first novel only to get lost on the bookshelves.
		The shame of this is that first novels are typically the authors best achievement and many of our popular novelists haven't attained the quality storytelling that they achieved in that first novel.

	Justine Larbalestier - First Novel Advance
		The most common of these (after "my sister naked") is "first novel average advance" or some variant thereof.
		So to first novel advances: I asked fellow Aussies, folks from the UK, Canada and the US how much they got for their first novel.
		Scott Westerfeld's $4,000 advance for his first novel Polymorph in 1996 was enough to pay four and a half's months rent on his two-room apartment a mere three blocks (and thirty years) away from Chip's old flat.

	Andrei Codrescu, Author
		Andrei Codrescu has written a fascinating first novel based on the life of his real-life ancestor, Elizabeth Bathory, the legendary Blood Countess.
		Drake relates his tale to a judge in new York, and it takes the form of a confession in which he reveals his involvement in a murder and admits to the dark-soul legacy of his horrible ancestor, from which he can't seem to escape.
		Fortunately, the bulk of the narrative concerns the blood-soaked realm of the countess, conjuring a historically rooted nightmare that is hard to resist.

	Slashdot \| The Big U
		The first half of the book is a sharp and nasty description of a large college called American Megaversity.
		Interestingly, the drunken and violent yahoos who are the primary cause of suffering for some of the main characters are identified neither with the fraternities or the sports teams, but are simply their own group, initially the Wild and Crazy Guys, and later, the Terrorists.
		Some of my affection for The Big U derives from the way I first read it Matt and I watched the growing Cult of Stephenson with a little dismay, as the pioneers of any wildeness are saddened as their forests becomes farms and then bedroom communities.

	My First Novel - Michael Ridpath
		I knew the odds were against finding a publisher for a first novel, however good, but I was willing to persevere, working my way down a long list of agents.
		I am convinced that it is the enjoyment of the writing process, rather than a desire for publication or an attempt to write what sells, that leads in the end to the creation of a good book.
		I believe it is impossible to write a good first novel in one draft with a few corrections, however brilliant you are.

	How I Planned My First Novel
		I knew that it would not be publishable; although I have written dozens of short stories, and lots of nonfiction for my day job, this was my first attempt at a novel-length story, and I resolved to treat it as a practice run.
		The first turning point is at the end of the first quarter, and is an escalation scene that sets the plot spinning in a new direction.
		Sasha enjoys a quiet night of domesticity with Cole while Marnie is off babysitting, and Sasha surprises Cole by broaching the subject of their future and suggesting that they move in together.
