"Rosenfeld breaks the scene down into all of its different elements, looks at each one and how it flavours a scene, and provides pointers on how a writer can make her scenes work harder and read better.
Having all this information in one place is fantastic and I know this will be a book I'll keep near at hand so that I can dip into it every so often to make sure my scene-writing is as good as it can be."
"This is the absolute best book I've ever read about the craft of writing. Jordon breaks down the details of great scenes and explains how to create them, step by step. I recommend this book for all writers, whether they've been stories for years, or are just beginning. Everyone will find helpful information and explanations about craft, and will discover a new way to think about creating scenes and how to make the ones you write even better.
