The Grim Reader
2024,2023
Overview
Many authors draw from headlines or movies rather than
personal experience to write drug-related scenes, and the result
may be more fiction than fact. So, how can you craft a convincing
scene involving accidental use of fentanyl-tainted pot or a murder
attempt with grandma's pain pills?
A much-needed resource, The Grim Reader details how to
write medical scenarios that result in realistic page-turners. As
drug inaccuracies multiply in screenplays, scripts, novels, and
audio plays, Dr. Miffie Seideman, Pharm.D. provides writers (and
editors) with the background and authenticity necessary to develop
plausible plotlines, including:
• Pertinent drug facts, tips, and symptoms • Symptom timelines •
Tips for developing historically accurate scenes • Common street
drug names and slang • Sample scenarios to demonstrate how to weave
the information into a believable scene • Writing prompts to
provide scene starters and offer practice
Combining Seideman's pharmacology knowledge with her love for
creative writing, The Grim Reader is the ultimate guide to
help authors craft accurate drug scenes and avoid medical
mistakes.
