What is FirstAid for Writers??
A Program Unconditionally Guaranteed to Solve Your Fiction and Nonfiction Writing Problems

"FirstAid for Writers is a writer's version of 9-1-1" said Compute magazine. You transfer a paragraph, a page, or whole chapters of your work into the program in three seconds flat. You solve your plotting problems guided by Sol Stein just as he has guided some of the most successful writers in America and England. Stein shows you how to apply current techniques to your own work, with instructive examples taken from recent successful fiction. He'll show you new ways to create characters that readers love and remember. You'll learn quickly how to increase suspense and tension in your writing. You'll make background information work for your story rather than against it. You'll help your reader see what's happening on every page (for both fiction and nonfiction). And much more.. "This is the bargain of the century!" said "The Business Computer" syndicated column.

FirstAid for Writers? Contains 5 modules
with over 60 different sections
to assist you with your writing:

1. Gearing Up gets you started --and restarted if writer's block ever thwarts you--with a technique that works 100% of the time. Shows how to jump-start inspiration instead of waiting for it. How professionals imagine extraordinary scenes. How to use backstory the way screenwriters do. How to use the "secret snapshots" technique to stop writing from the outside and get inside what only you can write.

    

2. Quickfix is the module you'll use most often. The invaluable "Beginnings Menu" will forever solve the problem of first sentences, paragraphs, and pages that make editors and readers stop reading.

    

3. Intervention is the module for fixing major problems that plague even the most experienced writers from time to time. You'll see how to reorganize work for maximum suspense. How to write erotic scenes effectively. How to master point of view, flashbacks, how to give your writing literary value and resonance.

    

4. Nonfiction is the module for the new journalism and literary nonfiction, used successfully by biographers and other nonfiction writers as well as journalists for more than seven years. It shows how to make nonfiction as interesting and enjoyable as fiction, with techniques to improve the pace, tension, and importance of nonfiction articles, feature stories, books, and news stories. There's immediately usable help on turning ordinary passages into extraordinary and memorable writing. Experienced writers will see how to use suspense and tension to create nonfiction page-turners, how to add strength to their prose, and how to tap their originality in an astonishing way.

    

5. Refresher is the module that shows you what do first when you revise. And then the eight other major steps to undertake before you do a general revision, and why neglecting them is the main cause of manuscripts being rejected today. One writer called this the "instant memory" module that enables you to remember quickly what you may not know you've forgotten, a godsend for writers who don't write every day and a help to those who do.

    

6. Professional Back-Up Service is free for one full year to registered purchasers of FirstAid for Writers.
