“With 100 million books in print worldwide and over 20 blockbuster television and film adaptations of his work, Harlan Coben has much to teach us about the creative process,” the description continued. “Part deeply personal memoir, part masterclass in storytelling, Plot Twist is a refreshingly honest look at the life of a writer whose stories have thrilled us for decades.”
In the book, Coben plans to share his journey as an author and what he’s learned along the way.
“Plumbing memories from his suburban childhood and his early years trying to break into publishing, Coben tells his own story for the first time, revealing the real-world inspirations for some of his most beloved characters as well as the innovative plots that drive his propulsive novels,” the description read. “Filled with useful tips and techniques on the creative process, Coben does away with the traditional ‘categories’ of writing—characters, plot, setting, etc.—and looks at the process holistically.”
Plot Twist is “a masterclass on the act of being a writer and everything that comes with it: the self-doubt, the hubris, the contradictions, the passion and dedication” and promises to “help every aspiring writer produce pages.”
The description concluded: “Honest, funny, insightful and at times deeply moving, this is both a captivating memoir and an essential guide for anyone looking to master the art of storytelling from one of our most beloved authors.”
Coben is the author of bestselling novels such as Tell No One, Fool Me Once, Run Away and Gone Before Goodbye, which he co-wrote with Reese Witherspoon. He is also the creator and executive producer of multiple Netflix series including Stay Close, The Stranger, Safe, The Five, The Innocent and The Woods.
Witherspoon, 49, was among those who reacted to the news of Coben’s memoir in the comments section of his Monday Instagram post, replying, “Need this ASAP!”
