  • Fiction First Aid, by Raymond Obstfeld.
    by Dee at 11:37 on 31 October 2004
    Instant Remedies for Novels, Stories and Scripts.

    You can tell something’s not right with your fiction but you can’t figure out what. FFA shows you how to recognise the symptoms and diagnose the ailments, then it tells you the remedy.

    Raymond Obstfeld has written 27 novels, 10 screenplays and 13 non-fiction books, including other writers’ guides.

    The chapters cover Plot, Characterization, Setting, Style and Theme, then the final chapter answers some of the most frequently asked questions about being a writer.

    There’s a particularly good section on how to make your cross-gender writing authentic. And it warns you to beware of what you don’t know you don’t know. In other words – don’t assume anything.

    This is one of the Writer’s Digest Book Series.
