WRITING A BOOK THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE by PHILIP GERARD
|
SummaryHow do books considered "classics" get to be known that
way? In this book, Philip Gerard analyzes books that made a
difference--fiction and non-fiction, classic and
contemporary--distilling out the elusive ingredients that
make a work memorable, one that changes our minds and our
lives.
Beginning with the importance of choosing powerful subjects
and themes, Gerard encourages writers to explore what is
closest to their hearts. He then presents dozens of
practical storytelling strategies that engage readers and
move them-to tears and laughter, or to action. As in his
much-praised Creative Nonfiction, Gerard's instruction is
always accessible and a pleasure to read. Anyone who dreams
of writing a book that makes a difference will come away
with a clear understanding of what it takes to succeed.
