04 The Intermediate Professional Storyteller

So. You're a writer.

You're no longer a beginning writer, however. You've mastered some of the elements of your craft, have learned the basics of storytelling, are starting to see some success.

What do you need to take you to the next level, though? This book is aimed at the intermediate. Not the beginner. Not the advanced. But the writer who is actively working on their craft and yearns to improve.

This book is as much of a guide as anything else. Every chapter has a section called "Clues"—questions that you can ask yourself about your writing to see if you need to work on this technique or not.

Some of the topics discussed include:

• Character and Setting
  
• Pacing
  
• Trust the Process
  
• Writing Techniques
  
• Reader Expectations
  

Be sure to read the other volumes in the series of bite-sized business and craft advice.
