The publishing experts we follow have plenty of craft advice to offer.
Here are the ones that we thought were can't-miss for our authors:
-
What dramatic irony is and how to use it: Author Tim Weed explains that these “spoilers,” in which the reader has information that the characters don’t, actually serve to heighten the tension versus ruining it (Writer’s Digest).
-
Craft, structure, and voice in writing: Joanna Penn interviews her editor, Kristen Tate, whose latest book unpacks the successful literary strategies used in several contemporary hit novels (The Creative Penn).
-
The power of white space on the page: C.S. Lakin offers examples of easy places to put in visual breaks in your fiction, to keep your readers' eyes moving (Live Write Thrive).
