A creative writer's shelf should hold at least three essential books: a dictionary, a style guide, and Writing Fiction. 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.

This new edition continues to provide advice that is practical, comprehensive, and flexible. Burroway's tone is personal and nonprescriptive, welcoming learning writers into the community of practiced storytellers. Moving from freewriting to final revision, the book addresses "showing not telling", characterization, dialogue, atmosphere, plot, imagery, and point of view. It includes new topics and writing prompts. And the examples and quotations throughout the book feature a wide and diverse range of today's best and best-known creators of both novels and short stories.

This book is a master class in creative writing that also calls on us to renew our love of storytelling and celebrate the skill of writing well. There is a very good chance that one of your favorite authors learned the craft with Writing Fiction. And who knows what future favorite will get her start listening to this edition?

This might work as a book, when you read the text, but when you try to ingest it by listening:
The reading by Laural Merlington is so monotonous that it's almost impossible to distinguish what is quoted and what is the author's text. Which at such a big amount of quotation makes it a really annoying experience, because you would always have to switch back several seconds or more and relisten to put the spoken words into the correct context.
This reader really could have put an inch of effort into her job.
Is it because i am not a native speaker? No, i think the reading is simply low quality.

monotonous reading makes it almost impossible

i liked both the plot, e.g. the build up of the chapters as well as the structure of each chapter. it was easy to follow, packed with theoretical and hands-on tips and even with many exercises and reading recommendations.

also, the reader did an absolutely fantastic job! i could really hear the witt when it was appropriate. a real joy to listen to.

now: back to the desk and create my own novel🤩

i learned so much, thank you!
