VERY FINE

This book hits the mark. Simple and direct. A book by those who truly know how writing artistically works. How to use more powerful words, to observe life, to write a character with real depth. Wonderful prompts all through. Authors share wisdom's own keys to this art.

Great book for beginning creative writers

I teach creatve writing to students at various levels,and I have found this to be one of the best texts I have used, especially for college students who want an introduction to creative writing. Each of the beginning chapters highlights a different aspect of language, character, setting, or another element; the final chapters are more holistic, each presenting a genre. The text allows room for creativity while providing helpful, specific direction for any student who might need it. The exercises work well for both young and old-er, male and female students.
