A good prop tells the reader something about the book without saying a word. A bad one fills the frame because the frame felt empty. This guide is about knowing the difference.
It walks through building a small, reusable kit (fabric, paper, one or two objects with patina) and matching it to genre, so a thriller and a cozy mystery never end up wearing the same tea cup.
Inside this guide
- The five-object kit and why it stays at five
- Texture before colour: linen, kraft paper, worn wood
- Matching props to genre without the clichés
- Thrift, garden and kitchen: where props really come from
