Dramatic techniques are all about bold, clear, high-impact writing. Once you discover the craft concepts that writers in the screen, stage and publishing industries use to bring stories to life, you’ll never look back. Dramatic techniques work. They’ve survived the bearpit of live audiences. They cut through the mud. They make it super-easy to edit, because they provide clear ways to handle structure. Authors who don’t have a firm grasp on these powerful strategies are seriously missing out! Dramatic techniques are core narrative skills, and they’ll supercharge your writing and editing. This practical guide to dramatic concepts will give you confidence in structure, plotting and character. You’ll kick yourself for not discovering them sooner. I wrote fiction for years. Then I started writing scripts professionally. I was stunned by how little I knew. All the craft techniques I was missing. Why? Because dramatic, prose and poetry writers move in different worlds. So they don’t share professional secrets. Things like: - dramatic action and how to drive a scene - how to write subtext - how to use status to create more dynamic characters - how to use objects, space, rituals and tranformations - the dynamics of private and public settings This book is packed with advanced writing craft concepts from the world of film, stage, and professional industry-level storytelling. If you want to move your writing up a gear, this is for you.
