Novelist's Essential Guide to Creating Plot by J. Madison Davis

Today I finished reading Novelist's Essential Guide to Creating Plot (2000) by J. Madison Davis.

"Appealing to novelists of any stripe, The Novelist's Essential Guide to Creating Plot allows readers to focus on and examine in depth the structure of a novel-either one on which they're currently working or one that they are planning. Light in tone and friendly to the beginner, J. Madison Davis' instruction is accessible and practical. From beginning to end, Davis covers every aspect of plotting a novel. Readers will learn how to: Increase the intensity of their plots; Enrich their work with multiple and parallel plots; Weave in subplots; Integrate characters and plots; Use leitmotifs, back stories, frames and more. With The Novelist's Essential Guide to Creating Plots and The Novelist's Essential Guide to Crafting Scenes," - Google Books
