Hook Your Reader On Page 1! With eighty books under his belt and as a lecturer and creative writing instructor for colleges and writer's conferences, William Nolan brings his expertise in teaching solid fiction writing skills to you in Writing Fiction That Sells. In his tell-it-like-it-is style, Nolan says in the book's foreword, 'I consider it unethical to encourage a beginner who lacks talent, allowing that person to believe that writing is an easy road to financial success, and that anyone can create professional stories and novels.' To that end, he covers the bases from helping you to discover where quality ideas come from to learning how to develop conflict, hook your reader at the get-go, shift between prose and script writing, and much more. If you are looking for a well-written book that will teach you how to write fiction that's fit to be published, this is a great selection for you. Not only will you learn the nuts and bolts of fiction writing techniques-conflict, characterization, plot, suspense, and dialogue-you'll also develop your unique writing style, express your individuality, hone your self-discipline, and continue writing even in the face of your first rejection.
