(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 01, 2014 ) DALLAS, TX -- Susan Mary Malone, (http://www.maloneeditorial.com/) developmental editor and award winning book author, recently released an article detailing how to properly write the ending of a book, or the climax. Ms. Malone has assisted over 40 authors to get published through traditional publishers, in addition to having had six of her own works published.
The article discusses the purpose of the ending of a story and goes over several points on how an author can do it right or wrong, with illustrative examples and analysis. She says: It doesnt matter in what genre youre writing, whether Fantasy or Horror, Romance or Literary, Mainstream or Christian. This is the crux of your novel, where everything comes together, although not in a tied-up sort of waythats for the next section, denouement and resolution. But where all of the action and discovery, all of the angst and trials and tribulations and self-realization and, well, everything, merges into one big giant fat boom. That doesnt necessarily mean the boom is actually a bomb going off, though such may happen. It can be running the final race, attacking the enemy, surging over the falls in a hand-made boat, staring that bottle of bourbon smack in the eye and pouring it out. Its the culmination of everything youve led your reader up to for seventy-plus-thousand words. Its the raison detre for why said reader has followed your folks all this time.
The full text can be read online on her website: http://www.maloneeditorial.com/blog/structure-and-the-novel-the-climax/
Ms. Malone stated: I truly enjoy imparting the tricks of the trade Ive gleaned in my writing career. Seeing new authors succeed in the field and get into publication is a very special thing, but they dont all know the specifics of the field theyre launching into. Its more than just knowing the format of how to send a manuscript to a novel editor or having an in in the industry. The first thing an author has to know and know well is how basically to write a story! I sincerely hope many authors find the article useful in constructing the ending of their book.
