Publisher's Summary

Conflict is essential to story - regardless of genre. The friction between what a character wants and the lengths they will go to reach that goal is what pulls readers through your book. Great conflict is what leaves readers cheering (or crying) at the end of a story. Using humour and her deep knowledge of human behaviour, counsellor and award-winning author Eileen Cook will guide you through the causes of conflict, the differences between internal and external conflict, and show you how conflict resolution techniques can be turned upside down to ramp up the tension in your book. Filled with practical tips, examples and prompts, this is a craft audiobook you’ll keep on your shelf to use again and again.

This is the fourth book in the Creative Academy Guides for Writers series. Be sure to check out the rest of the guides in this series.

The best book on how to write conflict in fiction

Loved it so much I brought the print book and the Ebook. Finally, I’ve been given guidance on how to implement conflict. There are loads of exercises which I will begin to work on to help me develop my craft in having conflict in my stories. Excellent advice and examples. Loved it! It’s my one of my writing craft bible.
