More than a quarter million copies sold! 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. Now in its tenth edition, Writing
Fiction is more accessible than ever for writers of all
levels—inside or outside the classroom. 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 each chapter now ends with a list
of recommended readings that exemplify the craft elements
discussed, allowing for further study. 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 your
favorite authors learned the craft with Writing Fiction. And who
knows what future favorite will get her start reading this edition?
