The Writers Field Guide to the Craft of Fiction offers a refreshing approach to the craft of fiction writing. It takes a single page from forty contemporary novels and short stories, identifies techniques used by the writers, and presents approachable exercises and prompts that allow anyone to put those techniques to immediate use in their own work. Encompassing everything from micro (how to write pretty") to macro (how to "move through time space"), and even how to put all together onpage one, this a field guide for anyone who wants to start writing now (or get some shiny new gear for their fiction toolbox.)"
