Albert Zuckerman, legendary literary agent, has worked with many bestselling authors, including Ken Follett, Olivia Goldsmith, Antoinette Van Heugten, Michael Lewis, and F. Paul Wilson. Zuckerman is a master at teaching writers the skills necessary to crack the bestseller list.

For this revised edition of Writing the Blockbuster Novel, Zuckerman has added an analysis of Nora Roberts's The Witness, which he uses along with classic books like Gone With the Wind and The Godfather, to illustrate his points. Zuckerman's commentary on Ken Follett's working outlines for The Man From St. Petersburg provide a blueprint for building links between plot and character. A new introduction discusses social media and self-publishing.

Writing the Blockbuster Novel is an essential tool for any aspiring author. As Dan Brown said in an interview: "Not long ago, I had an amusing experience meeting the author of a book I received as a gift nearly two decades ago a book that in many ways changed my life. I was halfway through writing my first novel when I was given a copy of Writing the Blockbuster Novel. Zuckerman's] book helped me complete my manuscript and get it published. When] I met Mr. Zuckerman for the first time. I gratefully told him that he had helped me. He jokingly replied that he planned to tell everyone that he had helped me write The Da Vinci Code."

Cute and company, but packing makes it VERY wrinkled
Color: Black, Size: 16 Inch
The bag is really cute and designed so well, can't believe how spacious it is yet compact! Not bulky and doesn't take up much room, lots of pockets. Perfect for both fashion and function. Took off stars thought because it came folded in half in its package and it's VERY wrinkled. Kind of takes away from it's look and makes it look bad :( pretty major wrinkles everywhere and I'm not sure if it can come out in this material, though I will try ironing it. If the company shipped it better it would be 5 stars.

Great stylish work backpack
Color: Black, Size: 16 Inch
I’ve had this backpack for a year and a half now and it has held up very well. I use it for work and work trips. It has many pockets for organization and fits everything I need including my 14 inch work laptop. Very stylish (not sporty) and appropriate for the office.

i love my new work bag
the fabric was water resistant and none of my belongings got wet under light rain. it fit my laptop, chargers, notebooks, two toiletry bags, plus a puffer vest and a wool tucker jacket. it got me through international customs and TSA quickly. when asked to search my bag for liquids prior to boarding an international flight from south america to the US, the agent complimented my bag, and i made record time through the line and to my seat on the plane. the zippers work great and have yet to fail me. lightweight and surprisingly sturdy. do be advised that the lighter colors will take on some damage after a few dozen bus rides, but it’s to be expected and i’m not mad at it. great purchase for the price !
