About this book

How to Craft a Great Story takes writers step by step through building a coherent plot and structure. Chris Sykes covers the traditional story arcs, then moves on to harder questions such as finding balance and marrying structure to form.

Every chapter comes with a diagnostic test, worked case studies and hands-on exercises, plus Aide Memoire boxes. A list of focus points closes each chapter, and a preview of the next chapter links the material together. The book tackles questions that come up often on creative writing courses.

It is written for writers who want the next step on from basic guidance on how to write a novel. The book is part of the Teach Yourself Creative Writing series, which covers genres from science fiction and romance to illustrated children's books and comedy.
