This is for advanced writers.

One of the things the author deals with is theme which is both a simple thing and a complex thing. I always had trouble with it, but this book helps you work toward understand in your theme in steps, breaking it down in a way that not only helps you figure it out, but gives you tools to help you focus your story. At least it did for me.

Highly recommend it.

The author provides helpful advice with examples of good writing and asks recap questions at the end to solidify the lesson. A reader-friendly book!
