Description

As writers, each of us wants our work to be read all the way to The End. Fiction or fact, fantasy or biography, no matter how lofty or lowdown, an author's first requirement is to recognize that we must entertain. And to do that we must learn how to grab our audience, and then make them stay with us.

Successful writer Tom Sawyer will teach you his practical, take-it-to-the-bank approach that applies to any kind of writing, any genre - from narrative fiction to memoir to advertising copy and even poetry and sermons, as he guides you through the process and shows you techniques for turning your idea into a workable, gripping tale. And along the way, you will acquire a mindset that'll make you a truly effective storyteller.
