Eight elements to keep readers invested in your book

All successful fiction has a single feature in common: it keeps its readers invested.

And it does so by using eight main “engagers,” albeit in varying proportions and combinations.

They are, according to Stefan Emunds: empathy, curiosity, tension, inspiration and motivation, sense of wonder and beauty, emotional thrill, excitement, satisfaction, and feelings.

Emunds discusses these crucial writing elements and how you might combine them in a guest post for C.S. Lakin's Live Write Thrive blog.
