Writing Active Setting: The Complete How-to Guide with Bonus Section on Hooks

Now get all three books of the WRITING ACTIVE SETTING series together, plus a bonus additional section on HOOKS!
Have you tried to take your writing skills to the next level but don’t know where to begin?
Do you dread the thought of writing narrative description because as a reader you skip over it when you read novels?
Or are you a writer who ignores Setting description totally in your novel writing—but know your story needs it? You just don’t know where.
Active Setting, explained in comprehensible bites with clear examples from a variety of published authors can help YOU breakthrough with your writing skills.
Readers usually remember the plot and characters of a story, but setting is every bit as important in creating a memorable world. Novel writing can be enjoyable once you’ve mastered a few of the writing skills necessary to bring a story to life.
If you’re tired of your Setting descriptions being ho-hum and are ready to create a compelling story world, regardless of what you write, or your current level of writing skills, keep reading.
In the WRITING ACTIVE SETTING series you will:

  • Discover the difference between Ordinary Setting that bogs down your story, and Active Setting that empowers your story.
  • See how to spin boring descriptions into engaging prose.
  • Learn to deepen the reader's experience of your story world through sensory details.
  • Notice how changing characters’ POV can change your setting.
  • Explore ways to maximize the setting possibilities in your story.
  • Learn to use Setting to quickly anchor the reader into the world of your story.
  • Use Setting as movement through space effectively.
  • Explore Setting in a series.
  • Learn the most common Setting pitfalls.

These books go straight to the point, putting theory in plain language, adding examples from authors in a variety of genres, and finishes each section with exercises designed to help you work with your Setting in a way that will excite you. . .and your readers!
