a Sharp Sense of
Time
and Place in Your Fiction
(The Elements of Fiction
Writing)

Conflict,
Action, and Suspense
by William Noble
Noble walks writers through
“setting the stage” of a great narrative with techniques that enhance intrigue
and create suspense. Building on this foundation, writers will learn to
keep their stories spellbinding by using devices such as plot twists, description
and pacing—all the way to a gripping and satisfying close. |
Description
(Elements
of Fiction Writing)
by Monica Wood
Description is most powerful
when it's visible, aural, tactile. Make your descriptions fresh and they'll
move your story forward, imbue your work with atmosphere, create that tang
of feeling that editors cry for and readers crave. |
