|
| A step-by-step HOW TO introduction to writing short fiction with a twist, with information on using characterisation, viewpoint, flashback and dialogue to maximum effect, how to develop the skill of 'twist signposting', and how to write backwards. | This guide helps the writer to create his or her own presence on the Internet. It shows the writer how to communicate and work with other writers. | Short and snappy as it is, Stephen King's On Writing really contains two books: a fondly sardonic autobiography and a tough-love lesson for aspiring novelists. | ||
