Moving from freewriting to final revision, the book addresses “showing not telling,” characterization, dialogue, atmosphere, plot, imagery, and point of view. Burroway’s tone is personal and nonprescriptive, welcoming learning writers into the community of practiced storytellers. This new edition continues to provide advice that is practical, comprehensive, and flexible.
Now in its tenth edition, Writing Fiction is more accessible than ever for writers of all levels-inside or outside the classroom. Janet Burroway’s best-selling classic is the most widely used creative writing text in America, and for more than three decades it has helped hundreds of thousands of students learn the craft. A creative writer’s shelf should hold at least three essential books: a dictionary, a style guide, and Writing Fiction.
