Brief and endlessly practical, The Art
and Craft of Fiction gives aspiring writers all they need, in a
friendly voice that students love. Michael Kardos focuses on technique
and presents fiction writing as a teachable (and learnable) art. With
an organization built on methods and process rather than traditional
literary elements, Kardos helps students begin their stories, write
strong scenes, use images and research detail, revise for aesthetics
and mechanics, and finish and polish their own stories. Instructors
trust The Art and Craft of Fiction to help structure their course, and
reinforce and complement their teaching points with examples and
exercises. A brief fiction anthology at the back of the book includes
15 selections that instructors praise for their usefulness in the
creative writing classroom.
