Amazon.com description: Product Description:
With seven unpublished novels wasting away on his hard drive, Tony Vanderwarker is astonished when John Grisham offers to take him under his wing and teach him the secrets of thriller writing. ÂThe beginning and the end are easy,â Grisham tells him. ÂItâs the three hundred pages in the middle thatâs the hard part.â
To ensure his plot doesnât run out of gas, Grisham puts Tony though his outline process. Tony does one, and then Grisham asks for another  and another  and another. As they work together, Grisham reveals the techniques that have helped him create compelling bestsellers for more than two decadesÂfor instance, ÂYouâve got to hook your reader in the first forty pages or youâll lose them.â After a year of constructing outlines, Grisham finally gives Tony the go-ahead to start writing.
Writing with the Master immerses the reader in the creative process as Tony struggles to produce a successful thriller. Itâs a roller coaster ride, sometimes hilarious, and often full of ups and downs. Grishamâs critiques and margin notes to Tony reveal his nimble imagination and plot development genius. For Grisham fans, Vanderwarkerâs memoir pulls back the curtain on his writing secrets, and for aspiring writers, itâs a master class in thriller writing.
In the end, Tony resolves to take Grishamâs teachings to heart and eventually decides to write what he thinks he was meant to: a book about the creative process and his incredible two years working with John Grisham.
