Fiction Writer Power Tools Vol 2 (en Inglés) - M C Neuffer

Fiction Writer Power Tools Vol 2 picks up where volume 1 left off.

.Fiction Writer Power Tools Vol 2 goes deeper than prescriptive rules to reveal the underlying mechanics that separate competent fiction from exceptional art. Drawing on decades of teaching experience and a systematic approach refined through intensive critique work, this compendium explores twenty two sophisticated techniques that most craft instruction glosses over.

This isn't another book of writing exercises. It's a diagnostic manual for serious writers who sense their work should be better than it is, who want to understand why their favorite authors' techniques succeed, and who are ready to move beyond rules toward principles.

For writers across all genres-literary fiction, thriller, romance, horror, science fiction-who want sophisticated tools for solving problems that have resisted intuitive fixes.
