 Facts we learned about becoming a writer - by Anna, Nina and Monica (photograph by Russell).

• Proof Readers check your work, but they don’t read the book from ‘cover to cover’ in case they get too caught up in the story and miss any mistakes. So they start from the back of the book instead

• It’s much easier to write a book now that we have computers. Before that, the writer used a typewriter and printed off the story and the printer had to re-type everything

• You need to find somebody to publish your book

• There are different ways of binding a book. Mr White’s newest book has the most expensive method. Cheaper, older methods can mean that the book falls apart easily

• It takes about a year to write a book but the book Mr White is writing this year may only take a few months as it as not as long as his others

• He has written  loads of books and has a previous one coming out.This one will be about a mystery story and it sounds quite good.It is set in Grangemouth,Falkirk and is a story about a murder 

• He also in his spare time writes for The Times. He has wrote a set of books all about Falkirk Football Club throughout the ages. His set of books started of with Volume 1 and is still writing the other sequels

• His two books the 50th anniversary and the Big book of lists are both ringbinders.You can see them on our class blog!(the post down below)

•  We would like to thank Mr White for coming and telling us about his book.It was an interesting talk and we learned loads.
