From fistfights to major martial arts thrills, you, the writer, need an idea if your fight scene works for you and for the book.

  • Learn five key questions to ask before you write the scene.
  • Learn three sure-fire ways to check that your fictional fight scene works.
  • Learn how to make sure your scenes feel realistic.
