My buddy Bill Bernhardt has released the first of his RED SNEAKER WRITERS BOOK SERIES. Recommended!
“Writing is structure,” William Goldman said, but too often aspiring writers
plunge into their work without grasping this fundamental principle. Story
structure is one of the most important concepts for a writer to understand—and
ironically, one of the least frequently taught. In this book, New York
Times-bestselling author William Bernhardt explains the elements that make
stories work, using examples spanning from Gilgamesh to The Hunger Games. In
each chapter, he introduces essential concepts in a direct and easily
comprehended manner. Most importantly, Bernhardt demonstrates how you can apply
these ideas to improve your own writing.
William Bernhardt is the author of more
than thirty books, including the blockbuster Ben Kincaid series of legal
thrillers. Bernhardt is also one of the most sought-after writing instructors in
the nation. His programs have educated many authors now published by major
houses. He is the only person to have received the Southern Writers Gold Medal
Award, the Royden B. Davis Distinguished Author Award (U Penn), and the H.
Louise Cobb Distinguished Author Award (OSU), which is given "in recognition of
an outstanding body of work that has profoundly influenced the way in which we
understand ourselves and American society at large."
The Red Sneaker Writing
Center is dedicated to helping writers achieve their literary goals. What is a
red sneaker writer? A committed writer seeking useful instruction and guidance
rather than obfuscation and attitude. Red sneakers get the job done, and so do
red sneaker writers, by paying close attention to their art and craft,
committing to hard work, and never quitting. Are you a red sneaker writer? If
so, this book is for you.
And as an ebook!
