Often times the main character is an anti-hero, lacking conventional hero attributes. Author and professional book editor Elaine Ash is a big fan of this subgenre and has won many awards for her series of work under the pen name &quot;Anonymous-9.&quot; Well-known hard-boiled writers include Raymond Chandler, James M. Cain, Duane Swierczynski, and Elmore Leonard. The key to success in this subgenre, Ash says, is to find writing connections online, whether that&#39;s critique partners, places to post your work, or resources. Your writing connections will eventually lead to agents and publishers, and hopefully, a publishing deal.</p> </div> <div class="asl-wikipage-media"> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-00-72/The-Elements-of-Hard_2D00_Boiled-Fiction-and-How-to-Connect-With-Other-Writers.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../The-Elements-of-Hard_2D00_Boiled-Fiction-and-How-to-Connect-With-Other-Writers.mp4</a></p> </div><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Crime, Subscriber, video</div>
