The Importance of Endings - Lisa Scottoline

From The Shit No One Tells You About Writing Bianca Marais, Carly Watters and CeCe Lyra

In today's Books with Hooks, Carly and CeCe evaluate two submissions each and discuss not feeding the reader all the information right up front; how the reader should be the co-pilot; that understanding how much you should reveal is a complicated dance; not starting with a child's POV when it’s an adult novel; and having things happening in the first pages and not just setting the scene

After which, Femi Omotade joins Bianca again to interview bestselling and award-winning Lisa Scottoline, author of What Happened to the Bennetts. They discuss channeling empathy to create realistic characters; how all writing leads to other writing; how writing is a muscle that needs to be exercised; the importance of endings; and how Lisa's writing has evolved over the course of her career.
