The Secrets Newsletter #127: Angles

The newest issue of The Secrets is out and available as part of the Volume Six Subscription Package. This issue covers story construction and the methods for finding and building a character growth arc into any story. While not every story requires a character growth arc; all stories are better for having them. Including character growth is the hallmark of the very best writers. If you intend to have a career and to have readers remember your stories, the material in this issue is must-read stuff.

I also want to remind you of the August specials which are still in effect:

Special #1

To set you up for success in your writing career, I’m offering this smoking deal:

21 Days to A Novel
The Rules of Writing
Serial Fiction

All three books combined for only $50!

These three books are the perfect foundation upon which to build your writing career. Serial Fiction will teach you everything you want to know to design a series that will have staying power over many stories. It also includes an extensive listing of motivations and plot points for constructing mystery and suspense stories. 21 Days to A Novel provides you with 21 days worth of writing exercises that will give you everything you need to launch a novel, from creating characters, dynamic dialogue and twisting plotlines. The Rules of Writing will teach you how to avoid all the little mistakes that beginning writers make–and these rules serve as great diagnostic tools when you know something isn’t right, but can’t quite put your finger on it.

The trio of books normally retails for $60 total, but I’m knocking $10 off the price. Plus I’ve tossed in an issue of The Secrets newsletter that tells you how to start selling your fiction electronically once you’ve made it the best you can.

Special #2

A lot of you already have those books, or are interested in other stuff from my store. So, for you, I have a coupon: $10 off on any purchase of $40 or more. All you have to do is enter the coupon code dogdays and you’ll get the deduction off your bill. The coupon expires on 8/31/09

The Cool Thing Is…

That if you buy the special package, and use the coupon code, you’ll be paying for two books, and getting the third free!
