What Is WritePro?
Which of the following would please you the most?
# Writing a short story that actually gets accepted for publication.
# Working on a novel, always knowing what to do next.
# Writing a memoir that your children or grandchildren will delight in.
# Experiencing the joy of releasing the creativity you always believed to be within you.

Whatever your occupation and level of schooling or talent, you can take the most important step in becoming the creative writer you always dreamed and hoped you might become. Who says so? How about The New York Times, the Associated Press, Writer's Digest, and the reviewers for many other news services and national magazines? How about the editors who make the selections for the Book-of-the-Month Club and the Literary Guild?

WritePro is an easy-to-use software program that guides you step by step in the creating of rounded characters, suspenseful plots, and sparkling dialogue.

Who Is Behind This Program?

So many advertised programs for writers are written by people who don't or can't practice what they teach, who haven't published much if at all, whose teaching credentials are unknown and who teach mechanical methods no worthy creative writer would ever employ. With WritePro you get an award-winning teacher and prize-winning author inside your computer, guiding you every step of the way as you write your story or novel.

The creator of WritePro, Sol Stein, is a prize-winning playwright produced on Broadway, an anthologized poet, the author of nine novels including the million-copy-seller, The Magician, plus nonfiction books, screenplays, and TV dramas. He has edited and published some of the most successful writers of our century: James Baldwin, F. Lee Bailey, David Frost, Jack Higgins, and Elia Kazan, none of whom had published major work until they came under Stein's guidance. Most important, Stein won the Distinguished Instructor Award from the University of California for his amazing work with beginners.

What is So Revolutionary about WritePro?

It employs what is widely acknowledged to be the best method for learning available anywhere. You actually use each new technique in your writing as soon as you learn it. Nothing is as stimulating as seeing evidence of your improvement on your screen within minutes of starting. At writers' conferences and workshops, we meet many WritePro users who tell us that in addition to the help they've had for their writing, they've gotten two additional benefits: Having learned how writers accomplish their effects, they become much better readers. They become keen observers of what goes on around them, enhancing each day's experience.

No More Reinventing the Wheel

WritePro provides you with tips, techniques, and craft secrets developed by successful writers you'll be able to use immediately. (WritePro's learning curve is near zero. You won't even have to consult the manual.) WritePro shows you how to develop plots from your characters, the method approved by the best teachers. Other programs have you start with plot, which produces hackwork. Only WritePro has The Dialogue Doctor™, which shows you how to convert ordinary exchanges into dialogue that springs off the page, your every word guided by the #1 dialogue teacher in the country. Only WritePro has you writing and editing two new scenes before the second lesson is over.

WritePro Lesson Summaries
# Lesson One: You will learn the foundations of fiction writing: how to create believable characters--heroes, heroines, and villains; and how to produce dramatic conflict.

# Lesson Two: You will find out how to invent suspenseful plots from those characters, how to heighten tension and use surprise. Then you'll write your first two scenes under guidance from WritePro.

# Lesson Three: You will learn how to write an opening scene that hooks the reader's attention, and whose point of view to use--and why. A whole treasure chest of professional craft techniques is opened in this lesson for your use.

# Lesson Four: You'll be mastering the three forms of fiction: description, narrative summary, and immediate scene, and learning how to use each for maximum effect. And you'll be introduced to a friend who is already working for more than 60,000 other writers: The Dialogue Doctor ™.

# Lesson Five: A favorite of many WritePro users, teaches you how to recognize superfluous words. The Flab Editor ™, a new invention hailed by reviewers, enables you to eliminate all your superfluous words with a keystroke, revealing how much stronger your text is without them. Lesson 5 also shows you dialogue and cutting techniques that help your manuscript win acceptance. By the end of Lesson 5 you'll be on the way to becoming your own best editor.

# Lesson Six: You'll learn to use the best rule of all for dialogue. You'll discover techniques to make your readers feel "this story moves fast!" You'll see how similes and metaphors can enhance your story, and you'll be learning how to read like a writer, which will enhance your reading experiences for the rest of your life.

# Lesson Seven: You'll learn something creative writing courses usually skip: how to write marvelous love scenes.

# Lesson Eight: You'll master advanced characterization. You'll discover how to create the kind of personalities that attract readers. You'll see how to characterize through action, how to show instead of tell. And you'll learn how to create villains that charm and surprise the reader, and how--and how not--to deal with a character's thoughts.
