Jack Ketchum
Synopsis "Righting Writing"
Bram Stoker Award(c) / Benjamin Franklin Award winning writer and editor Michael Bailey [a Shirley Jackson Award nominee and founder of Written Backwards] offers an exploration into the madness of writing, editing, and publishing. Writing is a disease without a cure. Once infected, the virus is in the host for good, until death. Something first sparked a need to create, so what was it? What does it take to survive publishing and continuously improve one's craft?THE BEGINNING: A straight-to-the-point narrative pushes past impostor syndrome, examining the writer life in detail while defining / dissecting fundamentals required to finish a first draft manuscript: character, dialogue, voice, plot, conflict, theme, and setting. THE MIDDLE: The journey continues with a look into manuscript revisions, with advice on breaking bad habits and developing healthy skills to improving intrigue, prose, pace, tense, point of view, show vs. tell, imagery, framework, and structure. THE END: After mastering the art of self-editing, writers will be ready for manuscript presentation, with an understanding of book layout, as well as knowledge of the publishing industry in general, such as with solicitation, rejection, acceptance, promotion, and performance as a professional writer.A book for those who need to write.
Escritor americano, Jack Ketchum (1946-2018) es considerado una de las voces del terror más importantes en el panorama contemporáneo estadounidense. Seudónimo de Dallas Mayr, la obra de Ketchum ha sido tildada de obscena y pornográfica por su exceso de violencia.
Ya en su infancia era un niño poco sociable y solitario, prefiriendo pasear por el bosque o leyendo sus libros y cómics favoritos a pasar tiempo con otros niños. En esa época conoció a quien sería su mentor y amigo Robert Bloch, autor de Psicosis.
Sus obras han recibido elogios de grandes autores del género como Stephen King. A lo largo de su trayectoria recibió premios tan importantes como el Stoker, tanto en relato corto como en novela. También varios de sus trabajos fueron adaptados al cine y a la televisión.
