About this item

Most books about the craft of writing fiction don't even define a scene, much less describe how to write one. Even fewer address sequels. Scenes are the exciting, turbocharged parts of fiction, driving the story forward. Sequels provide a breather, where the focal character can celebrate or lick his wounds and plan his next move. Together, scenes and sequels help create page-turning fiction. The concept of scenes and sequels were championed by Dwight V. Swain (1915-1992) and Jack M. Bickham (1930-1997) . Scenes and Sequels: How to Write Page-Turning Fiction, builds on the work of Swain and Bickham to create the most comprehensive and concise explanation of scenes and sequels anywhere.



About the Author

Mike Klaassen

I grew up on a farm in Kansas, and as an adult I was Scoutmaster for my sons' Boy Scout troop. My writing tends to include nature and the rough-and-tumble life or fantasies of a young person. Sometimes my stories get more than a little earthy, but they are just as likely to touch on science, politics, or philosophy. My hobby is writing books: fiction and books about writing fiction. I publish a free, online newsletter, "For Fiction Writers," about the craft of writing fiction. For more information, see www.mikeklaassen.com
