Many writers want their readers to forget the real world and feel the story as it unfolds, as if they were standing beside the characters. This book is a practical guide to fiction writing aimed at exactly that effect. It explains how to draw readers into the mind and emotions of a main character, using a step-by-step approach. Rather than theory alone, it offers concrete methods that authors can apply in their own drafts. It is part of a numbered series of craft books, and it suits anyone who wants their prose to feel immediate and lived-in.
