Just a quick note to say that the eBook edition of one of my favorite craft books, The Emotional Craft of Fiction by Donald Mass, is available on Amazon right now for $1.20!
One of the notes I get consistently is that my readers can’t quite connect to my protagonist. I sometimes write very low-affect characters where I’m trying to show a lot of emotion through subtle changes and subtext and this book has really helped me understand the framework around how readers emotionally engage with texts.
