Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Take your fiction to the next level!





Maybe you're a first-time novelist looking for practical guidance. Maybe you've already been published, but your latest effort is stuck in mid-list limbo. Whatever the case may be, author and literary agent Donald Maass can show you how to take your prose to the next level and write a breakout novel - one that rises out of obscurity and hits the best-seller lists.





Maass details the elements that all breakout novels share - regardless of genre - then shows you writing techniques that can make your own books stand out and succeed in a crowded marketplace.





You'll learn to:



  • establish a powerful and sweeping sense of time and place

  • weave subplots into the main action for a complex, engrossing story

  • create larger-than-life characters that step right off the page

  • explore universal themes that will interest a broad audience of readers

  • sustain a high degree of narrative tension from start to finish

  • develop an inspired premise that sets your novel apart from the competition




Then, using examples from the recent works of several best-selling authors - including novelist Anne Perry - Maass illustrates methods for upping the ante in every aspect of your novel writing. You'll capture the eye of an agent, generate publisher interest and lay the foundation for a promising career.
