How to Write a Story: A Writing Map to Help You Hunt for and Create Stories
The writing prompts and suggestions on the How to Write a Story map will inspire you to explore all aspects of a memorable and layered complex characters, clear settings, sharp dialogue, suspense and a rewarding ending.
The How to Write a Story map is suited to all ages, and has been devised particularly with younger and starting-out writers in mind. Like all the Writing Maps, though, it's suitable for writers of all levels.
Everyone writes differently. These are just a few ways of putting together a story. Over time you'll find new ways of making stories. The map's creative writing prompts and suggestions will also encourage you to expand your descriptions, try out different points of view, and play around with your story's structure. This Writing Map will remind you that writing is a playful and a serious craft, and the more you practice, the stronger your voice will be. Write your stories your way... with a little help from the How to Write a Story map.
What's a Writing Map? Each illustrated map contains at least 12 extended and thought-provoking writing exercises that will help you explore the city, the home, characters in fiction and memoir, the writing process, and life in general. Writing Maps are devised to inspire stories, spice up your writing routine, expand your work, develop work-in progress, or just make sure you have writerly fun in ways that will surprise you. No more writer's block! Never be at a loss for something to write about! Inspiration in your pocket wherever you go. The A3 map (297x420mm) folds down to A6 (105x148mm, postcard size), and is printed on 120gsm recycled paper in England. All Writing Maps are protected by a resealable cellophane sleeve.
