Instructor's manual: Writer's mind : crafting fiction

Writer's Mind: Crafting Fiction tells you in an entertaining yet authoritative manner all about the creative writing process: from imagining storylines to writing a first draft to publication.

This book offers:

• Practical advice and personal reflections from the author of three critically acclaimed novels.

• A sample story developed by the author as the book progresses from topic to topic.

• End-of-chapter exercises that encourage writers to practice the craft of fiction writing.

• “Writer's Bookshelf” features that provide annotated bibliographies of fiction that exemplifies each chapter's topic.

Richard Cohen takes the stance of an intimate, candid, sometimes caustically witty, sometimes self-revealing, sometimes eccentric, but always thoroughly reliable guide who knows the terrain he is describing.
