Boulter draws from the work of writers, critics, and theorists to show how cultural and literary debates can help writers to enhance their own fiction. Negotiating the creative-critical crossover, Writing Fiction is a lively and approachable book that enables students to develop practical writing skills and a greater critical awareness of creative possibilities.
