Reviews with the most likes.
Do you ever read a story and the words grab you by the heartstrings?
Do you clutch your pearls and swoon over beautiful characters?
Do you wonder how authors can put words on paper and twist your emotions?
Well wonder no longer!
The Divine B (the inimitable Sacha Black, that is), has done the work for us.
She has ploughed through fields of books, poring over example after example of how writers make their pens sizzle on the page.
In ‘The Anatomy of a Bestseller' she not only unlocks these secrets, but invites us to drink from the fountain of knowledge with her.
She offers humorous practical advice on how to read your favourite novels like a writer, dissecting them so that you can feast on the juicy goodness that makes you quiver with joy.
Every section includes quotes from different genres, and targeted questions and exercises to help you replicate the tools that make those stories so memorable.
The tips, ideas and tricks are so effortless yet mind blowing at the same time. This is required reading, more than once.
If there's only one craft book that you want to help you level up your writing this year, then ‘The Anatomy of a Bestseller' is it!
(I received an advance copy and this is my honest review).
