`	Lisa from Florida , December 07, 2011 (view all comments by Lisa from Florida) This is an important volume for any one with desires to write or tell stories better as well as for a reader wanting to gain more from favorite authors. Knowing the tools of crafting a story is not the same as putting those tools to good use. Le Guin offers clarity on these tools as well as strength training practice! A slim volume that packs a whole writerly gym into a mere 172 pages! Students of writing, writers, and storytellers will gain valuable insight from Steering the Craft by Ursula Le Guin. In case you are not familiar with Le Guin, she is more than accomplished in the field of writing and accolades: more than 16 novels, 5 volumes of poetry, eight collections of stories, 10 children's books, 2 collections of essays, and 2 volumes of translation~ all since 1966. Awards: National Book Award, multiple Hugo and Nebula Awards, the Kafka, Pushcart Awards and the Howard Vursell Award of the American Academy of Arts and Letters.
