About

Most people think the way to write a best seller is to have a lot of talent and even more luck. As you will learn, there is a recipe for success, and luck may be the least important ingredient in creating a best seller.

Mr. James Scott Bell-a best-selling writer, winner of multiple awards, and the author of the No. 1 best seller for writers, Plot & Structure: Techniques and Exercises for Crafting a Plot That Grips Readers from Start to Finish-has been teaching the principles of best-selling fiction for over 20 years, principles that apply to any genre or style. The 24 enlightening lectures of How to Write Best-Selling Fiction provide a comprehensive, eye-opening, and illuminating survey of the entire writing process, as well as a full breakdown of how best-selling authors such as Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Michael Connelly, Suzanne Collins, Janet Evanovich, and dozens of others have implemented best practices in their own writing. From fun creative challenges to help you get started with unique plot and character ideas to how to format, package, and promote your finished material, Mr. Bell offers an insightful, intimate, and extraordinarily revealing look at the elements that will elevate a novel to become a best seller. As an aspiring author, you will gain a wealth of tools that that will not only improve your ability to write, but will also increase your enjoyment of the craft.
