"Small details create big emotions." In today's episode, I share the seven most useful lessons I took from The Emotional Craft of Fiction by Donald Maass, who has run a successful literary agency for over 40 years. Maass' clients include notable fantasy authors like Brent Weeks and Peter McClean, who have sold millions of books. The Emotional Craft of fiction has been one of my favourite writing advice books ever since I first read it in 2019, so there's a lot to unpack in this episode. Enjoy!
