    Library Journal

    Bell, a lawyer-turned-writer (Deadlock), believes that plot is the single most compelling force in a novel and covers everything you've ever wanted to know about crafting a great one. He aims to dissuade readers of the "Big Lie" that writing can't be taught and embarks on a mission of upbeat instruction, using diagrams, exercises, and examples from popular fiction to explain numerous storytelling techniques that will grip readers by the seats of their pants. Plot, of course, is synonymous with popular fiction, a saleable genre, so this title will definitely find an audience. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.

    September 06, 2009: If, like me, you are a novice writer and are looking for ways to improve your knowledge and expertise in a very competitive field, Write Great Fiction - Plot & Structure by James Scott Bell is a "must have" for your library. He effectively covers everything we writers need to know about developing plots and structuring our works in a way that both attracts and keeps our readers reading - and that's what writing is all about. I found this book both interesting and informative, packed with ideas and suggestions I am now employing in my own literary efforts.
