The Writer's Partner

More about the book

-- Publisher Weekly calls it "a writer's supermarket of idea-sparkers, facts, and possibilities". -- From one of America's leading television and screen writers. -- Retitled, revised, and expanded. Build a saleable story from concept to conclusion. An idea book...a silent partner designed to help overcome the inevitable stumbling blocks in story writing. The Writer's Bookshelf called the first edition "the answer to writer's block". Hundreds of detailed lists of basic, everyday words, items, places, adjectives, characters, scenarios, expressions, story and plot possibilities, all woven together with a master writer's hands-on advice on making a novel, a TV story, or a movie script come together. "Top of its class! A dandy reference book and much more". -- Writer's Report "...idea-sparkers, facts, and possibilities on topics from believable characters to vivid locales and unusual themes". -- Publishers Weekly
