#1 bestselling writing coach James Scott Bell has analyzed thousands of manuscripts over the years, by both new and experienced writers, and noticed certain errors that keep showing up to take readers out of the fictive dream.

* The biggest point-of-view gaffe and how to spot it

* How to perform liposuction on flabby scenes

* The best way to show what characters think and feel

And much more!

Plus, Bell attacks some of the blunders writers can pull on their own careers, including fear, false competition, market ignorance, and the neglected brain.
