Mastering the Craft of Compelling Storytelling

Mastering the Craft of Compelling Storytelling

2014 • 320 pages

Mastering the Craft of Compelling Storytelling by Ray Rhamey is easily in my top 5 list of books on the craft of writing. Ray lays out the fundamentals in such an easy to understand manner that you can't help but learn something, but he also provides so many nuggets of wisdom and helpful tips that you are sure to find something new that you missed previously in each new reading.

My favorite sections were the Point of View (POV) chapter and the dialogue chapter, which are easily worth the price of the book by themselves. But every part of this book is full of so many lessons of experience and learning that both newbie and journeyman writers will find multiple pieces of this puzzle we call writing to help them complete the full picture.

Mastering the Craft of Compelling Storytelling is a must-have book in the library of everyone who wants to study the craft of writing.
