You're a writer. You just read your manuscript and discovered your characters nodding like marionettes in every chapter. When they're not nodding, they're rolling their eyes.

Oops.

Time to slash the Pinocchio strings and turn them into real live people. Award-winning author Kathy Steinemann will provide the tools. She cuts through the so-called rules and offers simple solutions.

Too many repetitions of little? There's a cure for that. Do you rely on very too often? There's a cure for that too. You'll find the remedies in this book's dispensary.

Should you ever use anything other than said to attribute dialogue? Are exclamation points taboo? The answers might surprise you.

Learn how to harness body language, cut hackneyed adjectives, and draw on the environment for ambience. No more wooden characters. You'll transform them into believable personalities your readers will learn to love. Or hate.

Get in the driver's seat, relax, and enjoy your journey - with Kathy Steinemann's book as your GPS.
