Quoted from leitskev
Take a look at the writing of Blake Couch. This book seems to be his latest and best:

https://www.amazon.com/Dark-Ma.....483641874&sr=1-1

You can read the first chapters for free.

His style is very similar to screen, I think. He also wrote Wayward Pines, which became a series. It's not a literary style, it's designed to be fast paced.

I think the advent of kindle is affecting prose style too, because the formatting is different. People reading on a kindle or a tablet or phone want to breeze through scripts.


Doesn't seem quite like my style, but given that it's free, I'll take a look. That said, I'm not necessarily interested in fast-paced prose. I'm not even that interested in fast-paced scripts, but that's another story. In short, I'm not looking for methods of modeling literary prose after screenwriting; it's a completely different medium, so I'd like to explore what new opportunities I can within it.
