The renowned novelist and author of This Year You Write a Novel shares a "compact but insight-rich" guide to fiction writing.
In his essential writing guide, This Year You Write Your Novel, Walter Mosley supplied aspiring writers with the basic tools to write a novel in one year.
In this complementary follow up, Mosley guides the writer through the elements of not just any fiction writing, but the kind of writing that transcends convention and truly stands out.
For writers who want to approach the genius of Melville, Dickens, or Twain, The Elements of Fiction is a must-read.
Mosley demonstrates how to master fiction's most essential elements: character and character development, plot and story, voice and narrative, context and description, and more.
The result is a vivid depiction of the writing process, from the blank page to the first draft to rewriting, and rewriting again.
Throughout, The Elements of Fiction is enriched by brilliant demonstrative examples that Mosley himself has written here for the first time.
