About the Author
Mike Klaassen is the author of Scenes and Sequels and several practical books devoted to the craft of writing fiction. Drawing on years of studying story structure and the techniques used by successful novelists, he specializes in translating complex writing concepts into clear, practical guidance that writers can immediately apply to their own work.
Rather than offering abstract theory, Mike focuses on helping writers understand why stories succeed, why readers keep turning pages, and how thoughtful scene structure creates momentum, emotional engagement, and memorable fiction.
His work is guided by a simple belief: great storytelling is not a mystery reserved for a gifted few. It is a craft that can be learned, practiced, and continually improved.
In addition to his books on writing craft, Mike writes historical fiction, young-adult fiction, and the Superpower Life Skills™ series, which explores practical skills for lifelong personal growth.
Mike believes the best writing instruction doesn't simply explain literary techniques—it helps writers understand why those techniques work and how to apply them with confidence. His books are designed to bridge the gap between writing theory and the day-to-day decisions every novelist faces.
