About Soman Chainani
This diary is for you if you’ve read or seen The School for Good & Evil and want to join Soman Chainani in his next journey. It’s for writers honing their craft who want to learn what’s worked for him in his darkest hours. And it’s for anyone just curious to see an author swing for the fences with the biggest challenge of his career.
This diary is about the behind-the-scenes journey to write my biggest book yet. It details the day-to-day war of storytelling, the triumphs and defeats, the blood, sweat, and tears…
I’m hoping that by sharing my raw process with you in real-time, it’ll demystify and defang the big scary dragon that is writing a novel. I’m hoping writers will feel less alone, like you have a friend on your path.
