Pack a dramatic, spiritual, and emotional punch with your story!
In this reader-friendly book, I first introduce the spiritual dramatic suspense genre, then go on to cover how to create a compelling novel by establishing and maintaining the facets of this genre throughout your story, including the pivotal plot points like riveting red herrings and persuasive peak tensions, internal and external conflict, dead on pacing, dynamic and functional setting and tone, irresistible characters, tantalizing twists, testing a character's faith, delicately handling the hard truths of life, capturing the spiritual struggle, articulating victory over despair/adversity, packing an emotional punch, and more. You will learn how to keep the reader tied into the story without being preachy or author intrusive.
I provide commentary on the various aspects, themes, and tropes of the genre as I take you on a journey through one of my spiritual dramatic suspense novels (Intent) to make the experience concrete and hands-on. At the end of each chapter, you will find an exercise specially designed to implement the various facets in your own work such as increasing tension, crafting complicated twists, externalizing a character's thoughts, and developing a believable character arc.
My Review:
As an aspiring author, I was excited to read this book! What made this book so different and that I really loved was that the author shared a whole book of hers and wrote commentary on what she did to create this story highlighting important pieces of advice. It really helped me a lot! I would encourage others to take the journey with her to learn more about the writing craft.
I voluntarily received a complimentary copy from the author. All opinions and thoughts are my own.
Rating: 5 out of 5 stars
