Inhaltsangabe

A Great Book for Every Writer!

Reading this book is like going to a master's class on writing that is taught by a funny professor. Denise Miller Holmes is a sharp cookie and mixes all the lessons she gives us with a dose of humor when we least expect it. Holmes uses popular examples of characters from TV shows and movies. Her examples give depth to her material and make it easier for readers to understand exactly what she is teaching. As a bonus, she gives two very cool lists. One is a list of ways to make your characters more fascinating and the other is ways to make your characters more likable. The next time I write a story, I will use these lists and this book as a resource. Great writing is not an automatic talent, unless you are Jane Austen. For most of us, learning the craft is vital to writing better. How to Write Characters Who are Fascinating and Likeable is a powerful way to perfect this craft. ~Robbie Iobst, co-author of Caught
