An elegant and intimate insight into the personal and practical
processes of writing, Andrew Cowan’s The Art of Writing Fiction
draws on his experience as a prize-winning novelist and his work
with emerging writers at the University of East Anglia. As
illuminating for the recreational writer as for students of
Creative Writing, the twelve chapters of the book correspond to the
twelve weeks of a typical university syllabus, and provide guidance
on mastering key aspects of fiction such as structure, character,
voice, point of view and setting, as well as describing techniques
for stimulating creativity and getting the most out of feedback.
The new edition offers extended consideration to structure, point
of view, and the organisation of time in the novel, as well as the
conduct of the Creative Writing workshop in the light of the
decolonising the curriculum movement. It features additional
writing exercises, as well as an afterword with invaluable advice
on approaching agents and publishers. The range of writers surveyed
is greatly expanded, finding inspiration and practical guidance in
the work of Margaret Atwood, Ayanna Lloyd Banwo, Richard Beard,
Tsitsi Dangarembga, Richard Ford, Ashley Hickson-Lovence, Anjali
Joseph, James Joyce, James Kelman, Ian McEwan, Arundhati Roy, Sam
Selvon, Vikram Seth and Ali Smith, among many others. With over 80
writing exercises and examples taken from dozens of novels and
short stories, the new edition of The Art of Writing Fiction is
enriched by the author’s own experience as a novelist and
lecturer, making it an essential guide for readers interested in
the theory, teaching and practice of Creative Writing.
