Book Reviews of Make a Scene: Crafting a Powerful Story One Scene at a Time

Book Review: Loved it!
Summary: 5 Stars

Great! There are many good (and not so good) books available to improve one's writing skills - and I've read a mountain of them. This is one of the best. 'Make a Scene' gives concise, enjoyable understanding to the many character, plot and scene elements necessary for a truly satisfying story. You'll soon recognize the trouble-spots in your manuscripts, and have the tools to correct them. You'll find your writing sessions are much more productive. I'll never write (or read!) a book the same way again!

Summary of Make a Scene: Crafting a Powerful Story One Scene at a Time

In Make a Scene, author Jordan E. Rosenfeld takes you through the fundamentals of strong scene construction and explains how other essential fiction-writing techniques, such as character, plot, and dramatic tension, must function within the framework of individual scenes in order to provide substance and structure to the overall story. You'll learn how to:

Craft an opening scene that hooks readers and foreshadows supporting scenes
Develop various scene types--from the suspenseful to the dramatic to the contemplative--that are distinct and layered
Tailor character and plot around specific scene types to better convey the nuances of your storyline
Create resonating climactic and final scenes that stay with readers long after they've finished your work
