Organized by the elements of fiction and concluded by an anthology of contemporary fiction, this book helps all fiction writers hone and improve their craft. The elements of fiction—character, point of view, dialogue, plot, style and revision. For those interested in improving fiction-writing skills.
Customer Review: Excellent exercises for fiction writers
I teach creative writing at a University, and I use this text in my classroom. Bernays and Painter have compliled a great little collection of jumping-off points. No matter what you’re trying to work on– your grasp of plot, dialogue, or maybe just that first line– this book will give you some good ideas. Super-great for those new to creative writing.
