You know the instant when the writing sings. The words caress, amuse or rivet. Artful phrasing sharpens the images. The pacing moves you along, event by gripping event. Too few writers so control the page. But you can be one of the few. Learn what this book has to teach and: refine your style; bring music to your words; sieze the reins of pace; make people of your characters; strengthen your powers of description; determine viewpoint; tighten tension; develop credibility and much more.
