Amazing

Highly Recommend! The Check list at the end is just amazing! Thank you for this! Already seen results editing my book using these techniques. 💯

Great book!

Untangles the obvious, and delivers the information in a clear and usable way. Loved it!
As for the narration - accelerating the speed to 1.20 overcomes it...

Excellent instruction

I'm a fan of Randy's book, The Snowflake Method, and this book was just as high caliber. Deep dive into what makes a scene powerful (or not). I kept having to pause it and take notes.

Improve your storytelling

Scene by scene makes sense with this method instead of vague explanations I've sat through at expensive writing conferences.

Most comprehensive scene construction guide!

I'm very excited to start implementing everything I've learned from this book right away. This book is the perfect guide for someone like me who always completes a beat sheet but struggles in writing the scenes for every story beat.

Useful!

This has helped me identify scenes that can be improved, and exactly what they need. The examples, while in very different genres from mine, got my imagination in gear. I can hardly wait to put this instruction into practice!

Short, to the point, and highly practical!

I was looking for a book to help me improve my scene-craft as a writer, and this book delivers with a simple, straightforward and no-nonsense system for creating scenes that work for your story, and for making sure the scenes you *do* have are pulling their weight. I found tips that I was immediately able to apply to my current writing project, and it's already making a tremendous difference. I'd recommend this short, easy-to-read book for any fiction writer.

Great addition

This audiobook makes a great addition to any writer's library. I found it informative and entertaining.

great refresher

So many great tips and examples. I will listen to this before I start writing next book and again when I start doing edits on draft 2. These tidbits can only make your writing stronger/better!

Excellent and practical!

I was just going to listen to a few minutes of this today, and I ended up listening to the entire book. I have written eighteen traditionally published novels (so far), and I found this book very helpful for honing my craft. There is nothing here that couldn't be easily understood and incorporated by a new writer, too. James L. Rubart's narration is engaging and fits the book perfectly. Highly recommended!
