Authors can always be served by returning to the basics of writing. We spend so much time focusing on the grand scale of books – plot, themes, sequels – that the simple pieces of writing which make a story stand out can be lost.

Momentum in a story is what drives the reader to the final pages. Losing it can result in the reader setting aside the book for other pursuits. Momentum can be found even without constant action. Ley and Leigh discuss ways to keep your reader around, and what to avoid so the momentum doesn’t slow.
