Fiction Tips

Fourteen brief articles covering topics from characterization to the importance of smooth transitions between scenes, all from award-winning novelist Ellen Behrens. She draws on her many years of writing and editing experience to focus on common issues facing beginning fiction writers. Skipping much of what can be found in most how-to books, Behrens chose her topics based on problems she noticed in debut novels, issues raised in online forums, and questions she's been asked over the years.
