About this Book
By the author of Logan's Run, soon
to be a major Warner Bros. movie directed by Brian Singer (Superman
Returns)!
Using the knowledge
inherent in writing more than 90 works of fiction including Logan’s
Run—soon to be a major Warner Bros. movie—William F. Nolan uses a
brisk and humorous style to teach the reader how to craft novels and
short stories that sell.
Nolan analyzes some of his
and other's best work to help the reader with construction of
characters, dramatic development, and dialogue. Plots are examined
highlighting each story’s "arc of suspense" from beginning to end.
The reader will learn how
to hook the reader on the first page, how to develop conflict, and the
craft of revision and more.
