  • Create characters as memorable as Herman Melville's Captain Ahab
  • Master point of view with techniques from Fyodor Dostoevsky
  • Pick up the pace by keeping your sentences lean like Ernest Hemingway
  • Incorporate sensual details like James Bond creator Ian Fleming
  • Add suspense to your story by following the lead of horror master Stephen King
And that's not all, "Fiction Writing Master Class" is your key to understanding and implementing the proven techniques of history's greatest authors, taking your writing to a whole new level of excellence in the process.
