What Topics are Covered at a Book Writing Class?
The mark of a great book writing class is one that will help you to write a great book but not make the joins conspicuous to your readers. You shouldn't be surprised to learn that not all classes are going to be exactly the same as each other.
Your initial step is to determine exactly what genre of book you would like to author. It wouldn't do you much good to go to a book class that will instruct you on how to write a mystery book if you really want to write science fiction books. There are some common attributes that one type of book may share with another, however, the specifics is what makes it impossible to learn about writing one type and trying to apply it to another.
Most people thinking about writing a book are thinking about writing fiction. While it is possible to simply sit down and make up a story based in a made up location, there are aspects of writing a book that can make the process more logical, easier and faster.
Most writers tend to want to develop a plot first. Generally, they come up with an outline of what exactly is going to take place, how it is going to take place, the location that it is going to take place, and when it is going to take place. After the initial plot is thought out, sub plots will have to be fleshed out. Being able to structure a strong plot and sub plots is absolutely critical to writing an excellent fiction book.
The location can often be an important part of the early book planning as well. If a real location is used for the setting of the book, it is possible that some of the plot or sub plots will need to be changed in order to fit in with the location. A real advantage of an actual location is that it can be visited and the real possibilities and limitations worked out on the ground, so to speak. A real location also enables continuity to be maintained by ensuring that, for example, what is a steep track for the characters in one scene does not become a footpath in another.
With a good location it is possible to populate it with the characters and supporting characters of the story. Again, with a real location it is possible to see the sort of characters that actually live there and create similar characters for the story (but not too similar!). Developing characters is very important and it is vital that you learn how to build upon a character without seeming to overwhelm it.
As well as teaching you how to build your plot, find your location and create your characters, a good book writing class will show you how to build the story on the plot, within the location and using your characters. At the same time it will teach you how to get your readers involved with the characters - maybe even identify with them. It will teach you how to build suspense and how to introduce unexpected twists to keep your story moving forward.
Keeping your readers guessing by putting powerful plot twists and keeping the story moving is also something you should be taught.
