Fictional Combat (Women's Fiction Writing Guides 2) Angela Knight's Guide to Writing Fight Scenes
From fist fights to dragon duels: NYT bestselling author Angela Knight explores how to write fictional combat.
As a novelist, teacher and editor, I've seen bad fight scenes ruin too many good stories. My objective in this book is to demonstrate how to write fights that keep readers on the edge of their seats -- and publishers begging for more.
I'll discuss how to use YouTube to research combat techniques and construct thrilling fights blow by blow. You'll also learn how to use those fights to reveal character and build reader sympathy.
I'll demonstrate the warning signs of an anticlimax and what to do about it. I'll show you how to build tension and excitement with every battle until you reach a climax that has the reader craving your next book.
Note: This is an updated and heavily revised version of my book, How to Write Fight Scenes.
