Synopsis

Are you ready to raise your writing game? Discover dramatic writing techniques and take your fiction, drama and poetry to a new level!

Dramatic techniques are all about bold, clear, high-impact writing. Once you discover the craft concepts used by writers in the screen, stage and publishing industries 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, and getting industry feedback. I was stunned by how little I knew. All the craft techniques I was missing. Why? Because script, 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, reversals and transformations
• 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.

Jules Horne is an award-winning fiction writer and playwright from Scotland, with 13 years' experience as an MA creative writing teacher at UK university, where she co-wrote the script strand. She’s an experienced teacher and editor working across the writing craft disciplines (multimodal and multimedia). She writes the books she wishes she’d had when she was starting out.

Practical, professional how-tos that cut to the chase. Get the pro secrets no one tells you till you join the writing industries.

Dramatic Techniques for Creative Writers is just the jolt your creative writing needs!
