Naoki Prize-winning author Ogawa Satoshi generously reveals the trade secrets he uses himself! 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 going”… etc. A mind-blowing technique put into words by Naoki Prize-winning author Ogawa Satoshi, who is sweeping the world, on how to put what’s in your head into words! ☆☆☆ Also includes the short story “East of Eden,” about the revision of a novel! ☆☆☆ ☆☆☆ Easy-to-read paperback size! ☆☆☆ The “Preface” is now available for special viewing!
