Description
Unlike many other books that provide ethereal, inspirational, "writerly" advice on how to write fiction, we give students concrete, practical instructions on how to put a story together. Developing a story idea, creating characters, choosing point of view, and creating effective dialogue are just a few of the topics we cover. We take the mystery out of fiction writing and give students everything they need to know about what makes a short story tick.
