Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. I read a lot of 'how to' books on writing. All of them have been useful, because for novices there is so much to learn. This one is exceptional in my opinion. The author shows the reader why good writing works and then he encourages us to strive for it. Readers will enjoy the veil being lifted on the craft. ( ) no reviews | add a review
"THE WRITER'S FIELD GUIDE TO THE CRAFT OF FICTION offers a refreshing approach to the craft of fiction writing. It takes a single page from forty contemporary novels and short stories, identifies techniques used by the writers, and presents approachable exercises and prompts that allow anyone to put those techniques to immediate use in their own work. Encompassing everything from micro (how to "write pretty" and "move between action and interiority") to macro (how to "create characters" and "drive plot forward"), and even how to put it all together on page one, this is a field guide for anyone who wants to start writing now (or get some shiny new gear for their fiction toolbox.)" -- Publisher's description No library descriptions found. |
