Overview

It is a book of usable solutions--how to fix writing that is flawed, how to improve writing that is good, how to create interesting writing in the first place.""With examples from his bestsellers as well as aspiring students' writing, Stein offers detailed sections on characterization, dialogue, pacing, flashbacks, liposuctioning flab, the ""triage"" method of revision, using the techniques of fiction to enliven nonfiction, and more. This is an essential guide for writers at every level."
