{"product_id":"writing-genre-fiction-a-guide-to-the-craft","title":"Writing Genre Fiction: A Guide to the Craft","description":"Several years ago, after many years of writing nonfiction, I decided to write a novel-a medical thriller in the mold of Robin Cook, Michael Crichton, and Michael Palmer. The problem was that, although I knew how to write and had received a number of awards for nonfiction works, I didn't know the how to write fiction. So, before putting fingers to keyboard I did a thorough search of the literature, which included reading numerous books and hundreds of website articles. What I discovered was that there simply wasn't one good source from which to learn the craft of writing genre fiction. \"Writing Genre Fiction: A Guide to the Craft\" is the book I was looking for when I set out on my quest to learn how to write fiction. It is an attempt to share what I learned from my research. It covers the six key elements of genre fiction; the various genres and subgenres; a large number of genre-fiction writing techniques; plot, subplots, and parallel plots; structure; scene and sequel; characterization; dialogue; emotions; and body language. It also covers additional information about copyrighting and plagiarism, where to get ideas, manuscript formatting and revision, and query letters and synopses. In addition, an appendix covers a large number of grammar tips.","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46426359988434,"sku":"9781581129182","price":59.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_8f93e00a-ace9-43ed-b8ef-7fb10dab5665.jpg?v=1762835993","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/products\/writing-genre-fiction-a-guide-to-the-craft","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
