Book Description
Content Structure for Flash Fiction has never been so simple and fast. What if all story ideas were able to be boiled down to a single formula? Wycliffe A. Hill had this idea in the 1930's when no less than Cecil B. DeMille rejected one of his stories because ""it had a good narrative, but no drama."" This led Hill to research what made a dramatic story. Diving into the problem that the growing movie industry had for volume treatments to feed their industry, Hill created a device to harvest these many different possibilities for plot creation. The original ""Genie"" he produced was to explore the idea of a formulaic basis for stories. For Flash Fiction, the work is even more daunting, as it's not a question of filling in more conflict, action, or romance by adding words. The object of this book is more for education of the author in the basics of how to string a plot together, and maybe a solution to any ""writer's block."" Win the day. Get Your Copy Now.

Book Description
David Korman is a man with a reputation. In his day, he has risked his life in service to both the United States and Israel more times than he can count. By the time he reaches retirement, he knows that the chaos and danger of his life will never be a thing of the past. There are some jobs you can never really leave behind. When a new terror appears, David must answer the call. His challenge is to neutralize not one but two enemies of the state: the first, a powerful group working to defraud the US government out of billions, and the second, a terrorist group with a major port city in its sights. He must rely on a lifetime of instinct and intelligence in order to stop the plans to obliterate the port, prevent the murder millions of American citizens with radioactive agents, and foil the plot to steal the country's money. The hunt is on for predators who won't think twice about threatening Korman's family in order to safeguard their real efforts. Korman's quest takes him around the planet in pursuit of the truth-and the people responsible for terror.

Book Description
The first edition of The Rhetoric of Fiction transformed the criticism of fiction and soon became a classic in the field. One of the most widely used texts in fiction courses, it is a standard reference point in advanced discussions of how fictional form works, how authors make novels accessible, and how readers recreate texts, and its concepts and terms—such as "the implied author," "the postulated reader," and "the unreliable narrator"—have become part of the standard critical lexicon. For this new edition, Wayne C. Booth has written an extensive Afterword in which he clarifies misunderstandings, corrects what he now views as errors, and sets forth his own recent thinking about the rhetoric of fiction. The other new feature is a Supplementary Bibliography, prepared by James Phelan in consultation with the author, which lists the important critical works of the past twenty years—two decades that Booth describes as "the richest in the history of the subject."

Book Description
How to Build Plots That Grab Your Readers and Won't Let Go - By Building and Integrating Characters, Story Arcs, and Engaging Themes Ever wonder what makes a great book or movie different from a pitiful excuse for entertainment? Mostly, it starts with a plot. But what makes a plot work? From months of my own studying the vast numbers of approaches to plotting, it's clear that there is still a wide gulf between the mechanics of a plot and having a working framework usable for any writer. This led to the study of two authors who had already done their own studies of which plots made successful entertainment, and actually built their own still-popular plot generators based on this knowledge. Many well-known and obscure writers have used these methods instead of being dogged by ""writer's block."" The anwers to what makes a great plot are simple and few. The bonus in this book is giving you your own plot generator to help you when you're stuck. Get Your Copy Today.
