Hot on the heels of the paperback edition, the ebook version of Write Like Lee Child has appeared on Amazon.
Just like the paperback, it contains a link that allows you to download a free set of exercises.
I like to think of my Popular Fiction Masterclass books as a sort of sketching class – in other words, the equivalent of the traditional education that art students undertook in past centuries. They would patiently sit in front of Greek and Roman statuary in the galleries of Europe, drawing the great works of the past. The idea was to learn all the gestures and techniques that made for great art, and then apply them in your own original work.
That’s what you will be doing when you work through the book Write Like Lee Child and complete the creative writing exercises. At the end of the process, you’ll have a deep understanding of how the amazing Jack Reacher novels work, and you’ll have a whole load of material that will feed directly into your own novel, including a well-worked-out plan.
