Learn how to use them effectively without disrupting the flow of your story, keeping readers immersed while revealing essential backstory at just the right time.

Perfect for novelists, screenwriters, and storytellers, this book will help you master the art of using flashbacks as a powerful tool for storytelling, creating transitions that feel natural, compelling, and emotionally resonant.
