Fiction Writer's Bible

This book will make you aware of so many things you take for granted when writing fiction. I sincerely believe it should be required reading for anyone wanting to write there own fiction. It's not just informative, it was so fun to read that I've given it the full read several times. Pick it up!

Very Basic and Informative

I like this book for the mere fact that it does what other writing guides fail to do: be succinct. Most books spend page after page trying to impress upon you how a good book should be written, while this book just comes along and says the same exact thing in two or three sentences. Each chapter covers the most important elements of fiction, and the longest chapter is a mere four pages long. Highly recomended, sadly out of print.
