Synopsis

Fascinating fiction starts with characters who make readers care. This Live Wire Writer Guide presents a simple, effective technique to sharpen your hook, charge your scenes, and amplify your voice whether you're a beginner or an expert.

Most writing manuals skirt craft questions with gimmicks and quick fixes rather than plugging directly into your story's power source. Energize your fiction and boost your career with

• a new characterization method that jumpstarts drafting, crafting, revision, and pitching.
• skill-builders to intensify language, stakes, and emotion for your readers.
• battle-tested solutions for common traps, crutches, and habits.
• a dynamic story-planning strategy effective for plotters and pantsers.
• ample examples and exercises to help you upgrade fiction in any genre.

Blast past overused tics and types with storycraft that busts your ruts and awes your audience. Whether you like to wing it or bring it, Verbalize offers a fresh set of user-friendly, language-based tools to populate your pages and lay the foundations of unforgettable genre fiction.

About this title

About the Author

Damon has earned his crust as a model, a messenger, a promoter, a programmer, a sculptor, a singer, a stripper, a bookkeeper, a bartender, a techie, a teacher, a director... but writing has ever been his bread and butter. Though new to romance fiction, Damon has been a full-time writer for print, stage, and screen for over two decades. He has won some awards, but counts his blessings more often: his amazing friends, his demented family, his beautiful husband, his loyal fans, and his silly, stern, seductive Muse who keeps whispering in his ear, year after year.

"For people in search of writing craft/process books, Damon Suede's Verbalize is the real deal. Highly recommend. Pretty sure I would have saved myself weeks of painful revisions on a couple of books if I had had access to this method earlier...Wildly helpful." Cat Sebastian, author of  historical romance
"It's rare to find a book on writing that so thoroughly entertains as it educates. My new favorite reference. Halfway through it I wanted to dive back into my story idea, excited, inspired and re-energized. I think that pretty much says it all."  R.G. Alexander, New York Times bestselling romance author
