Description
James N. Frey's How to Write a Damn Good Novel, II offers powerful advanced techniques for building suspense, creating more interesting characters, and achieving greater reader sympathy and identification.
This book focuses on the promises that an author makes to the reader, such as those about character, narrative voice, story type, and so on. Frey argues that these promises must be kept if the reader is to be satisfied, and warns against pseudo-rules that can cramp the imagination and deaden the narrative.
With honesty and humour, Frey shares his insights into the way writers sometimes fail their readers and themselves, making this book a rich and instructive guide for aspiring authors.
