“communicate” rather than “convey” a message? Novels are a form of communication between author and reader. Understand who your readers are. Assume they don’t know you. Abstraction and individualization, the order of information, clarifying “where you’re taking it”… etc. This eye-opening thinking technique, put into words by Naoki Prize-winning author Satoshi Ogawa, is a game changer! It explains how to verbalize what’s on your mind! ☆☆☆ Also includes the short story “East of Eden,” about the revision of a novel! ☆☆☆ ☆☆☆ Easy-to-read paperback size! ☆☆☆
