Product Description
Review
"Creative writing courses up and down the country are jammed. But everything you need is in this wonderful volume... Stein is a fascinating guide and teacher. This should be required reading for all Booker prize judges and about 90% of published authors." --Daily Mail
"Plenty of how-to books are strong on theory - they explain the theory of writing arresting openings, of creating interesting characters and so forth - but Sol Stein s strength is that he demonstrates these things in highly practical terms." --Writers News
"Having edited such luminaries as Dylan Thomas and James Baldwin and published several novels, veteran Sol Stein has put together a quirkily instructive guide... A companionable guide to what constitutes un/successful writing." --The Times
Synopsis
In ths book, Sol Stein, one of the greatest editors of our time, offers help on the most important recurrent problems novelists encounter when learning their craft. With numerous examples from the work of both established bestselling authors and talented newcomers, combined with detailed analysis, he reveals the secrets that can lift a piece of creative writing and give it that spell-binding quality that holds the reader enthralled. The need to give the reader a unique experience, the necessity for conflict between characters, the importance of instant attraction, what makes a character compelling and a plot gripping; why dialogue should never mimic spoken conversation and how misplaced or unnecessary words can slow down the narrative - all this and more is conveyed in this entertaining yet practical book that provides all the benefits of an individual tutorial.
