When a manuscript is on submission, one of the\u00a0most commonly heard\u00a0reasons for rejection\u00a0is\u00a0that it fails to be \u2018stand out\u2019 enough in a saturated market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the number of books being published, there are few markets which\u00a0don\u2019t<\/em>\u00a0feel saturated these days. So how do you give your novel an edge that sets it apart?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Hook<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Introduce an unusual hook\u00a0or ingredient.\u00a0Perhaps it\u2019s\u00a0a chilling or unreliable narrator, or heady nostalgia that captures a certain era.\u00a0Gone Girl<\/em>\u00a0gave us the twist we\u00a0didn\u2019t\u00a0see coming at the midpoint, rather than at the end\u00a0of the book.\u00a0Colin\u2019s Walsh\u2019s literary thriller\u00a0Kala<\/em>\u00a0plays with strands of time in a haunting, lyrical way that gives it a class\u00a0all of\u00a0its own.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my novel\u00a0Two Little Liars<\/em>, readers have\u00a0cited\u00a0the thread of witchcraft running through the story as adding something new and different compared with the average thriller. Whatever your element\u00a0(or genre)\u00a0is, aim to invoke a\u00a0particular\u00a0feeling\u00a0or response\u00a0in your reader,\u00a0or\u00a0a unique atmosphere that lingers long after the final page.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n

2. Setting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the finest compliments a writer can receive about their setting is that it feels like a\u00a0character in itself. There are many ways in which this can be achieved, whether\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0an everyday domestic setting that should be one of safety and routine, or something unfamiliar such as\u00a0a\u00a0lonely mountain lodge or remote island.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homes, schools,\u00a0and\u00a0shopping centres\u00a0can quickly become places of real\u00a0menace\u00a0when the\u00a0uninvited\u00a0is introduced:\u00a0a window that shouldn\u2019t be open, a noise where there should be silence, a nerve-jangling walk to the only car in a usually packed parking lot.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. High stakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In any thriller, the standard ultimate cost to a character is their life, their\u00a0liberty\u00a0or the life of one of their loved ones. But\u00a0think about\u00a0other\u00a0ways to elevate the danger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What sort of toll will the events of your story take, both physically and\u00a0emotionally\u00a0on your protagonist? What will it do to the fabric of their family, their person, their reputation, or their conscience?\u00a0These things show us who a character is and what they stand to lose, and\u00a0ultimately\u00a0they are\u00a0things that make us care\u00a0about a character\u2019s fate.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Characters you root for<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Characters that feel real and authentic are flawed. They not only have surface flaws, such as being a bit clumsy or forgetful – they’re characters who\u00a0are capable of making\u00a0life-changing, catastrophic errors of judgement or doing terrible things in moments of madness or to protect the people they love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My character Erin\u00a0is haunted by a past mistake that\u00a0affects\u00a0every\u00a0facet\u00a0of her life and her family, but it is possible to be invested in her because of\u00a0her deep regret over her actions, and\u00a0the love\u00a0she has for her mother. While she acknowledges that she might deserve whatever is\u00a0coming to her, her mum\u00a0doesn\u2019t, and it is this love that drives her and helps us to be on her side.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while we may not root for some characters, we can still be invested in their outcomes. I have never turned pages faster than when reading the diary entries from Colleen Hoover\u2019s\u00a0Verity,\u00a0<\/em>or\u00a0despised a character as much as Beatrice Lacey in Philippa Gregory\u2019s\u00a0Wideacre,\u00a0<\/em>even though I understood what propels her to act as she does.\u00a0We do not have to empathise with a character to care what happens to them next. In\u00a0fact,\u00a0a story is no less compelling when the opposite is true.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. The payoff<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With any book, we want the ending to be a satisfying experience. By definition, a thriller should be\u00a0thrilling:\u00a0exciting, high octane, and a little bit scary (or very scary, even).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A rewarding payoff could be as simple as a classic \u2018kill or be killed\u2019 showdown between your main character and the antagonist. It\u00a0could do something that shocks or surprises the reader, such as offer a huge twist that turns the entire book on its head. It could\u00a0have the villain seemingly getting away with it in a move that\u2019s totally unforeseen. I barely breathed through the final scenes of\u00a0Promising Young Woman,\u00a0<\/em>unable to believe what was happening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0key to making these things emotionally gratifying is to thread obstacles to be overcome, and clues to be unravelled,\u00a0leading up to this point. Twists that aren\u2019t\u00a0adequately\u00a0seeded are more likely to\u00a0leave\u00a0a reader feeling\u00a0cheated than fulfilled, so it\u2019s vital there are\u00a0breadcrumbs\u00a0or double bluffs along the way to\u00a0provide\u00a0the \u2018Aha, of\u00a0course<\/em>!\u2019 moment as everything comes together. Ultimately, you goal should be to\u00a0leave your reader feeling that their time with your book was well spent.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
