3D Fiction Fundamentals Collection, Book 5: Three-Dimensional Fiction Writing by Karen S. Wiesner

formerly published by Writer's Digest Books as Bring Your Fiction to Life {Crafting Three-Dimensional Stories with Depth and Complexity}

Craft a story so lifelike, you actually feel like you can step into the world beyond the pages!

You know it when you read it: In page after page and scene after scene, a truly engrossing story has qualities that set it apart. Authentic characters, a well-rounded plot, and immersive settings work in harmony to create a three-dimensional experience--one you can practically step inside and explore. But while you can recognize this work when you read it, writing it can be much more challenging. Three-Dimensional Fiction Writing teaches you how to build a solid narrative structure and layer in lush, textured scenes to create a story that feels utterly real. You'll learn how to:

• Master the three-dimensional aspects of characters, plots, and settings using detailed sketches that define the past, present, and future aspects of each element.
• Develop complex opening, resolution, and bridge scenes that expertly lead readers through your fictional world.
• Construct and analyze an outline for your manuscript, using tools and techniques to analyze scenes that lack dimensionality.
• Brainstorm, research, and draft efficiently and effectively, and juggle multiple projects with ease.

Packed with story-development charts, worksheets, and checklists, Three-Dimensional Fiction Writing shows you how to craft a vivid story world that readers will want to visit time and time again.
