James Scott Bell
"James Scott Bell's Knockout Novel is a valuable tool that helps me connect with my characters on an emotional level. The questions prompt me to consider things about my leads that never occurred to me before, helping me take them from cardboard characters to three dimensional, complex people readers can relate to. It's also helped me discover some major pitfalls in my current plot, keeping me from writing myself into a corner."

— Terri Blackstock, NY Times Best-selling Author
