Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The most Practical, Down-to-Earth Fiction-Writing Hand-Book Available, Written by Veteran Instructors From the Country's Most Popular Writing School. Since its inception in 1993, Gotham Writers' Workshop has become America's leading creative writing school, offering more than 400 courses a year to 5,000 students in person and online. Gotham's talented instructors have developed an immensely successful ten-week program that emphasizes the practical over the theoretical, the tell-it-like-it-is over the touchy-feely. Now, with the publication of the first GWW guidebook in Bloomsbury's new series, these world-class writing teachers bring their collective wisdom to an even wider circle. Edited by Nikki Moustaki, writer and long-time Gotham instructor, the Guide to Writing Fiction's eleven easy-to-use chapters each focus on a different element of the writer's craft--character, plot, point of view, theme, setting, description, voice, and dialogue. Packed with exercises, examples, and tips drawn from a decade of classroom teaching, each chapter builds on previous ones. By the end, readers will have a total picture of how to write expertly tructured novels and short stories. Informative, approachable, inspiring, the Gotham Writers' Workshop's Guide to Writing Fiction is an essential for new and experienced writers everywhere.
