Galahad Porter has recently published her new novel At Reception and to celebrate she offers her top tips for writing. My number one tip to anybody who has dreamed of writing fiction is to do just that. Write. Write down whatever comes into your head. Keep a notebook handy, you may need it at 1am. Don't even think of spelling, grammar, the reader, anyone else. Whatever you start writing will have changed considerably by the end, so let it evolve, don't start trying to straightjacket it from day one.
