How To Deliver Important Backstory With Setting

Ah, backstory. According to many, this is the BIG BAD WORD in fiction. How many times have you heard someone say, “Backstory is bad, strip it from the scene!” or, “Backstory slows the pace, bogs down the action, and will only bore the reader.” Well, if you hang out at the same online writerly spaces...

Write a 5-Star Book 2

When I set out to write Book 2 in my Fountain series, I made the common mistake of thinking it would be easier than the first one, which took me more than four years to write. After all, I’d already created the world and gotten to know my characters inside and out. I knew what […]…

Finally had my first bout with Grimmish! What a remarkable book. It's an especially good read for authors who want to explore Michael Winkler's unusual writing craft.

I absolutely enjoyed the creativity of this "exploded non-fiction novel"...the blend of memoir, writing tips, historical happenings, footnotes, social/psychological commentary and full on made up mischief, mayhem and mess (warning: there is lots of male on male sporting violence in the book).

What's also remarkable is that in addition to the innovation and craft he brought to this book (based on an American boxer's bouts in Australia in the early 1900's), Michael Winkler's dedication to the project...his self-publishing journey - his shortlisting for the Miles Franklin Literary Award and then the publishing deal with Puncher and Wattman is like going twelve rounds in and of itself.
