Mastering the Craft of Compelling Storytelling is

• a one-book remedy for a host of beginning novelist ailments
• a tune-up for published authors
• a resource for editors.

Intended for novelists and memoirists, the book's sections on Wordcraft, Technique, and Story cover aspects of storytelling that include spotting shortcomings in a narrative; characterizing through experiential description; how to create tension; when to tell and how to show; and much more. "Mastering" adds new content to Ray Rhamey's original Flogging the Quill, Crafting a Novel that Sells in this new version. See additional reviews of "Flogging the Quill" for insights from writers on how helpful his coaching was for them.
