James Patterson Masterclass
Congratulations to Sam Stephens, writer of Chapter 17, which James Patterson has chosen as his favourite chapter of the AirBorne Chain Thriller! Sam has won a Masterclass in the form of a personal phone call with James Patterson himself, where he will be able to learn writing tips and tricks of the trade from the master himself!
James Patterson says:
'Picking a winning chapter was tough as there is some very commendable writing in AirBorne. I chose Sam Stephens' chapter 17 as my favourite for a couple of reasons. AirBorne has many twists turns and a multitude of characters. It's an action-packed ride and the writers had to juggle many storylines. For chapter 17, Sam chose to focus on Detective Tribe and his interrogation of a key suspect and this focus gives the chapter a clear direction. It contains only one scene, one location and only two characters. The dialogue is strong and it's very visual. It brings out Detective Tribe's tough, no-nonsense investigating approach and it provided some character development on one of the bikers. It's also damned funny. Chapter 17 is well-written, well-paced and succeeds in anchoring the story brilliantly.'
Random House Publisher, Beverley Cousins, has given her high commendation to:
Andrew Taylor - Chapter 8
Grant Heymer - Chapter 13
Jennifer White - Chapter 27
The above 3 writers will all receive a fantastic book-pack!
Each of the 28 writers who participated in writing the AirBorne Chain Thriller will also receive a signed, limited edition copy of AirBorne.
Thank you again to every one who participated in this amazing world first!
