Description
From the Back Cover: Philip Gerard presents step-by-step strategies for writing a book that makes a difference-in the minds and hearts of your readers. By analyzing techniques used by classic and contemporary writers such as Leo Tolstoy, John Steinbeck, and Frank McCourt, he demonstrates how to make a powerful connection with readers, even change their lives. From characterization to point of view to voice and style. Gerard covers all the elements of storytelling, exploring both fiction and nonfiction. At the end of every chapter, he offers exercises to help you begin the project you've always imagined-one that is larger in scope, deeper in meaning, one that may change your life.
