Publisher's Synopsis
It's often said that everyone has a book inside him or her - but how do you plot it? In MAKING STORY, edited by the Edgar- and Macavity-nominated author Timothy Hallinan, twenty-one novelists - who have written more than 100 books among them and sold more than a million copies - talk about how they go about turning an idea into a plot, and a plot into a book. This is an indispensable book for aspiring authors and the first in a series, each focusing on a different writing challenge.
