Confident with the basics of your craft? Looking to take your
writing to the next level? Advanced Fiction gives you the tools to
hone your skills by thinking more deeply and systematically about
deploying them on the page. Friendly and down-to-earth, Amy Weldon
guides you through the realities of craft and process, combining a
broad anthology of landmark stories with instruction on the more
advanced aspects of fiction writing. Featuring interactive prompts,
exercises and suggestions for further reading, this book guides you
from larger philosophical issues to subtler technical ones, from
topics as diverse as the intricate principles of storytelling to
navigating artistic and political landscapes conscientiously and
building a writing career. Beginning with a brief recap of the
basics, the text goes on to examine: - The psychology of writing
and revising - Practical methods for drafting and notebook-keeping
- Taking personal and technical risks with ideas, images, and forms
- Making responsible decisions about representing identities,
bodies, and histories on the page - Complex craft concepts such as
world-building, structure, time, and moving from short forms to
novels Placing students’ own work in conversation with
established stories, the accompanying anthology selections range
widely in culture, technique and time period, including authors of
dystopia, historical fiction, satire, and fiction in translation as
well as literary realists tackling themes like economic inequality,
climate change, and identity. Thoughtful and essential, this book
provides excellent guidance for students and budding authors on the
complexities of fiction writing from the beginning of a writing
project – short story or novel – to the end.
