ReviewsThe tenth edition of Janet Burroway's classic 1982 book guides fiction writers of all levels through the entire creative process, with updated exemplary passages and advice from contemporary authors, and sections on current issues such as distraction, appropriation, different genres, and young adult fiction. Chapters focus on characterization, setting, plot and structure, point of view, and revision, and each closes with a list of suggested readings and writing prompts that allow for further study., Scrupulously written by a first-rate novelist who . . . gives tips, offers sensitive commentary, and exceptions to what may pass for 'rules' in writing.

And the examples and quotations throughout the book feature a wide and diverse range of today's best and best-known creators of both novels and short stories.
