The problem was that  although I knew how to write and had received a number of awards for nonfiction works  I didnt 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 wasnt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45652152680501,"sku":"ByrdShop_1581129181","price":44.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781581129182.jpg?v=1781849580","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/writing-genre-fiction-a-guide-to-the-craft-9781581129182","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
