Sparknotes Ultimate Style: How to Write a Short Story

By John Vorwald

Book Overview

Unlike many other books that provide ethereal, inspirational, "writerly" advice on how to write fiction, we give students concrete, practical instructions on how to put a story together. Developing a story idea, creating characters, choosing point of view, and creating effective dialogue are just a few of the topics we cover. We take the mystery out of fiction writing and give students everything they need to know about what makes a short story tick.
