Violence: A Writer?s Guide (Second Edition) introduces writers to a world of terror, pain and blood. A world where lives are changed forever in a few desperate seconds.

The book covers various forms of violent conflict?including assault, warfare, and combat?focusing less on technical choreography and more on emotional resonance, impact, consequences, and narrative believability.
