Take Your Novel To The Next Level: Advanced Techniques For The Fiction Writer

How can TAKE YOUR NOVEL TO THE NEXT LEVEL help you? Award-winning author Marjorie Reynolds offers powerful techniques you may not have encountered in other how-to manuals and expands upon some that need more emphasis. Using her novels, THE STARLITE DRIVE-IN and THE CIVIL WARS OF JONAH MORAN, published by William Morrow, Berkley and HarperCollins, along with other novels as examples, she will introduce you to tools that successful fiction writers, both literary and commercial, use. The New York Times Book Review said, "Marjorie Reynolds tidily explores the gap between fantasy and reality" in THE STARLITE DRIVE-IN, and Publishers Weekly wrote, "Reynolds once again proves herself a sure-handed storyteller" in THE CIVIL WARS OF JONAH MORAN. In TAKE YOUR NOVEL TO THE NEXT LEVEL, you'll learn how to breathe life into characters and color a scene with sight, sound, smell, touch and taste. It will guide you through setting, characters, plot, scenes, conflict, emotion, suspense, tension, climax and resolution, while taking you up the ladder to advanced skills such as subtext and the echo technique. Most importantly, you'll learn how to put your reader into the scene, not just as an observer but a witness to the dramatic action. Drawing upon thirty years as a journalist and novelist, she'll teach you how to write compelling fiction at a higher level.
