The words “chase scene” mean different things to different people. Some immediately think about car chases like The French Connection (1971) while others favor the outrageous boat chases that seem to pop up in every James Bond movie from Quantum of Solace (2008) to From Russia With Love (1963).
However, whether plane, train, or automobile, the one thing all of these famous chase scenes have in common is that they aren’t simply gratuitous action—they are designed to develop character and advance the plot. Join this mini-intensive to learn five easy steps to writing a chase scene that will keep your readers riveted to the page.
