Maybe you've already been published, but your latest effort is stuck in mid-list limbo. Whatever the case may be, author and literary agent Donald Maass can show you how to take your prose to the next level and write a breakout novel - one that rises out of obscurity and hits the best-seller lists. <p/>Maass details the elements that all breakout novels share - regardless of genre - then shows you writing techniques that can make your own books stand out and succeed in a crowded marketplace. <p/>You'll learn to: <p/> - establish a powerful and sweeping sense of time and place<br> - weave subplots into the main action for a complex, engrossing story<br> - create larger-than-life characters that step right off the page<br> - explore universal themes that will interest a broad audience of readers<br> - sustain a high degree of narrative tension from start to finish<br> - develop an inspired premise that sets your novel apart from the competition <p/>Then, using examples from the recent works of several best-selling authors - including novelist <b>Anne Perry</b> - Maass illustrates methods for upping the ante in every aspect of your novel writing. You'll capture the eye of an agent, generate publisher interest and lay the foundation for a promising career.
