They also focus on characters, point of view, and dialogue.Authors quoted include David Baldacci, Therese Anne Fowler, Steve Berry, Lisa Jewell, John Hart, Sophie Cousens, Ron Rash, C.J.

Hartley, Clyde Edgerton, Jill McCorkle, Jason Mott, Mark de Castrique, Cathy Pickens, Gavin Edwards, and many more.Because stories have to start somewhere, and so do quote books, this book starts with the section titled, 'The Hook.' As author Matthew Duffus, Writing Center Director of Earlham College in Indiana, says, 'We have so many options now for entertainment that weâÇÖve got to be quick. WeâÇÖve got to hook readers and weâÇÖve got to keep things moving.' Simply put, as award-winning novelist Jon Buchan quips, 'We donâÇÖt write about the planes that land safely.'But there is more to a good story than the first few lines and the first chapter. ThatâÇÖs why this book has more sections and content than any other book in the series and why we get emotional about it. As award-winning author Randell Jones says, 'A good personal story engages with real life. It has to be addressing some universal issue of the human condition, something that most readers can connect with.' Author Kathleen Burkinshaw agrees when she says, 'Time can pass, technology will change, but the need for human connection through emotions, thatâÇÖs timeless.'Whatever form or genre youâÇÖre writing in, these quotes have something to support your journey through the world of wordcraft.
