Gotham Books - What Writers Are Reading - Gotham Writers' Workshop

- What's New?

"Writing Fiction is at once a utilitarian guide to writing and a capacious consideration of literature, breaking the best of modern-era fiction into its principal parts. It's an incredible book, not just for the aspiring writer but for the ardent reader as well."

-Michael Ray
Senior Editor, Zoetrope: All-Story

"Writing Fiction is unlike any so-called 'creative writing' text I've encountered. It deals with any question a fictioneer at any level of development might have, but in a refreshing, nuts-and-bolts manner. This book has a vividness that somehow captures the excitement and fellowship in good writers' workshops. I've clearly found a new book to use in my own writing classes. This is a fine guide."

-Chuck Kinder
Writing Program Director, University of Pittsburgh
