    Steinbeck is known for his simple, yet highly effective writing style. While he is not considered one of the greats like Hemingway or Faulkner, Steinbeck’s economy of language is what set him apart from other writers of his time. Here we’ll discuss techniques on how to write like Steinbeck.

    First and foremost, keep your language simple. Steinbeck was a master of using short, concise sentences to get his point across. His writing was often compared to Hemingway’s “iceberg theory” – that is, the idea that the vast majority of the story is left unsaid, allowing the reader to fill in the gaps.

    Secondly, focus on the characters and their motives. In Steinbeck’s novels, the characters are often the driving force behind the plot. By focusing on why they do what they do, you can create a much more engaging and interesting story.

    Finally, use dialogue to move the story forward. Steinbeck was a master of using dialogue to not only advance the plot, but also to reveal character motivation and backstory. By using dialogue to further the plot, you can keep your readers engaged and ensure that your story moves at a brisk pace.

He/Him

 

When I first started writing, I was looking for a place to get feedback on my work. I wanted to find a community of writers who could help me improve my craft. But I quickly became frustrated with the sites I found. You know the ones that were either too superficial or too harsh.

 

I saw a need for a different kind of writing critique site. One that was based on mutual respect.

 

So I created Writer’s Critique. It’s a place where writers can meet other writers, collaborate, and get feedback on their work. It’s also a place where you can learn from editors, publishers, and other experts in the field.

 

No gimmicks. No karma points. Just write.
