ABOUT THE BOOK
What makes a page-turner? What mysterious literary essence holds a reader so hard they feel they must keep reading? And then tell friends, "I couldn't put it down!"
And what do literary agents and publishers really look for in a manuscript?
Internationally acclaimed author and story coach Barbara Kyle reveals the answers in Page-Turner with insights into:
- the essentials of story structure
- how to create a "storyline"
- harnessing the power of “deep character”
- the art of crafting dialogue
- mastering point of view
- maximizing settings
- practical advice on how to query agents and get published
. . . and more
Page-Turner shows how to create the kind of novel that brings offers from publishers and praise from readers.
For emerging writers who want to break in, and published authors who want to produce a breakout book, Page-Turner is an indispensable guide.
