Building on the excellent, craft-focused content of the first edition, 'Make a Scene Revised and Expanded Edition' adds fresh insights, examples and instructions for crafting scenes that draw readers in and keep them rooted in the action of the plot and the emotional transformation of the character.

In 'Make a Scene Revised and Expanded Edition', Jordan Rosenfeld takes you through the fundamentals of strong scene construction and explains how other essential fiction-writing techniques, such as character, plot and dramatic tension, must function within the framework of individual scenes in order to provide substance and structure to the overall story.

You will learn how to craft an opening scene that hooks their audience and foreshadows supporting scenes, develop various scene types, tailor character and plot around specific scene types to better convey the nuances of the storyline and create resonating climactic and final scenes.

Industry Reviews

"Scenes are the building blocks for any work of fiction, basically they are the DNA sequence that makes a novel un-put-downable and unforgettable reading experience. When writers are able to craft effective, engaging scenes, they can develop a complete, cohesive story -- and a mesmerizing experience for readers. Now in a significantly revised and newly expanded edition, Make a Scene: Writing a Powerful Story One Scene at a Time by Jordan Rosenfeld takes aspiring writers step-by-step through the elements of strong scene construction and demonstrates how the essential aspects of a compelling story (including character, plot and dramatic tension) function within the framework of individual scenes to give momentum to the whole narrative. Make a Scene shows how to: Craft an opening scene that hooks readers and foreshadows conflict; Develop various scene types--from contemplative to suspenseful to flashback--that are distinct and purposeful; Establish characters' intentions within a scene that drive the plot; Transition into new scenes by clearly establishing details of setting, character, and point of view; Create resonating climactic and final scenes that stay with readers long after they've finished your story. This newly revised and expanded edition includes brand-new examples, an increased focus on advancing plot and character development, making it an essential part of any personal, community, or academic library's Writing/Publishing instructional reference collections." --James A.
