You want your readers to say they couldn’t put your book down, can’t wait for the next book, LOVE your writing. And you want someone besides your mom or best friend to say this. But how do you get there? Is there some magic formula, ten surefire tricks, five hidden techniques, twelve processing steps that will push your writing to the next level? Not exactly, but there are ways to write tight, tension-filled stories that will make your prose more professional.
What people said:
Words can not express my gratitude for all the insights from the class you taught and the encouragement you gave to all of us. I had hit a bit of a roadblock and you completely blew it up with a few insights and a lot of personal help to get me back on track. Of course, it will take more than a few days since the end of the conference to put everything in perspective, but your class definitely gave me the courage to push ahead. I have a goal of submitting my YA manuscript before the end of October.-MS |
