About this title

Synopsis

The step-by-step guide for how to write a 'page-turner' – a compelling narrative with in-depth characters that ‘jump off the page’. It explains how to think about your reader and what they want, and make them care about what you're writing so that they can’t put it down.This easy to follow book packed with plenty of practical exercises will help you get the best from your story, whatever it is – genre, novel or script – to uncover inside it the seed of the perfect narrative that's waiting to be found.Using techniques evolved from teaching hundreds of hours of creative and script-writing workshops, working with students as they go through drafts, it includes the 10 Steps To A First Draft system. This is the quickest way to arrive at a first draft, from the initial idea, to thinking of every scene as a series of dramatic beats. It saves time and frees authors to write fewer drafts while concentrating on style – the exact words used.Topics include: using psychology to create flawed characters, the four story types, four endings, the 'but' equation, the storyline, the hero's journey, character development, on dialogue, honesty and writing, planning a scene, beats and how to use them, suspense, pacing, humour, editing, openings, submitting work.Written by an award-winning children's writer, scriptwriter, co-founder of the London Screenwriters Workshop, and ex-Marvel Comics writer, highly experienced writing tutor David Thorpe.
