Synopsis
designed for all those wanting to be the next Dan Brown this introduction to writing popular fiction will be a key addition to the writer's bookshelf. Authored jointly by a literary consultant/agent, and a highly successful published author, it offers not simply a guide to writing a novel, but an introduction to writing a plot-based, action-focused blockbuster. Rather than focusing on literary theory, it covers such key practicalities as the importance of plot, pace, action, character and the different demands of such popular commercial genres as romantic fiction, thrillers, and so on. With a substantial part of the book devoted to finding an agent and making a living, and with such key features as editing exercises, soundbites and chapter summaries, it will prove indispensable to all those looking to write for a living.
