Self-Help
A breakout novel is one that rises out if its category -
such as literary fiction, mystery, romance, or thriller -
and hits the bestseller charts. Maass explains the elements
that all breakout novels share and shows readers how to use
these elements to write a novel that has a good chance of
succeeding in a crowded marketplace. They'll learn to: - Create a powerful and sweeping sense of time and place - Develop larger-than-life characters - Sustain a high degree of narrative tension from start to
finish - Weave sub-plots
into the main action - Explore universal themes that will
interest a large audience.
