Love a bittersweet ending that has me torn whether I should throw the book away, or begin re-reading just to see if I missed something. Great video! Thanks for sharing with us.

Always appreciate when someone does this, and wonder why OP doesn't.

this is terrific. thanks for all the great examples from real books - takes it out of the theoretical and into the practical. appreciate it!

Brilliant video, concisely and precisely exampled. Thank you for these ideas. I'm with thefoxialbunny, below; what about mixes of endings? For example, a cliffhanger with a snarky ending.

@WankiTank 17 дней назад

just listening to you and thinking of examples of books that use those endings, I realized I did read much more books than I think I did (and constantly worry about whether it's enough to be a writer), that was a nice realization!

Excellent video. Thank you so much!

Glad it was helpful!

@thefoxialbunny Месяц назад

Nice tips, man. What about mix two or three ends? Cheers from Brazil.

@Bookfox Месяц назад

I would be wary of trying to mix too many -- but sure, mixing two like humor with cliffhanging could work.

Excellent

oh, I am a big fan of The Count of Monte Cristo! However I don't really get why people like the ending so much, probably because I wanted more of the book, plus am still annoyed that Andrea/Benedetto's storyline ended so ambiguously

@dorysmith2776 14 дней назад

Oh, I loved the ending of the book-far more than the end of the movie. The book’s ending reinforces the theme that sin has consequences, but redemption is possible. In the movie, he rubs his nose at God but still gets the girl and the son.

@maybelore 8 дней назад

@@dorysmith2776 oh, that movie. I have feelings twords that movie and they aren't good ones (I even made my own video about it.) If you want a movie that's ending is basically the opposite, watch the Richard Chamberlain one. Mercedes' line at the end is so good

@MegananaOwl Месяц назад

Thank you! I’m new to your channel. Could you do a list of ways to open your novel (if you haven’t already)

@Bookfox Месяц назад

Great idea! I'll work on it.

@ameteurwriter Месяц назад

Great video! In your opinion, which are appropriate for the first book of a series by a new writer? I had planned to make it a cliffhanger, but I'm afraid it won't fly by the publishers.

@Bookfox Месяц назад

If you resolve most of the storylines and then only leave one dangling (preferably a storyline that arose later on in the novel) then a cliffhanger could still work.

how do you do a good book pitch without revealing too much, especially if, in order to be specific, will likely have a major spoiler

How would you recommend ending a novel which theme is based on the concepts of the raw laws of nature, and how it isn't evil in the humanic sense, but simply the cycles of the wild?
