Fantastic info for new and experienced authors ...

I have written a good deal. I have my style. This book covers the elements you will need to know and use in your style you will develop.

It does have a good deal of example detail using mostly the popular movies from books, method, or popular shows and TV that all have to use the same elements as a book does - in film. But all writing books I've looked at do this too. This author did well.

You get a great perspective on what you need to consider in the elements of your work.

This is well developed and presented material and clear to its points.

For me, this audiobook was a great reminder that writing is a craft - not a science. It spawns from the joy of reading wonderful tales and seeing great TV and film, and it boils over into the desire for you to write stories just as good. We all have the desire (along with the quest of fame and fortune - learn to write well first) ... the how to do it is a lot tougher than you think. I use (or try to) the elements presented here. And that is the craft - in how - do you develop your story. The author tells you want you need to pay attention to very well. It is up to you to make it happen in your stories.

It does take a deep understanding of the elements presented here. All writing books lead by example. That is all you can do. You may write for many years, and we all try and promote our work. This book is not extensively long. But it covers a lot of the elements and ideas you need to pay attention to.

I found it useful as it is a great reminder of what things a writer needs to pay heed to in the story they want to tell. And do use the chapter arrows as you revisit this book.

Well done.

Just what I needed

Is there more?

I really loved this audio book and the narrator. I'm really hoping I see more soon. The author has another Writer's Everything release on Amazon. Hopefully she turns it into an audiobook.
