The essential guide to evoking emotional experiences in your readers

Writers might disagree over showing versus telling or plotting versus pantsing, but none would argue this: If you want to write strong fiction, you must make your readers feel.

Veteran literary agent and expert fiction instructor Donald Maass shows you how to use story to provoke a visceral and emotional experience in readers. You'll learn:

? emotional modes of writing
? beyond showing versus telling
? your story's emotional world
? moral stakes
? connecting the inner and outer journeys
? plot as emotional opportunities
? invoking higher emotions, symbols, and emotional language
? cascading change
? story as emotional mirror
? positive spirit and magnanimous writing
? the hidden current that makes stories move

Readers can simply read a novel... or they can experience it. The Emotional Craft of Fiction shows you how to make that happen.
