Description

Andrew Cowan's guide to writing fiction offers a comprehensive and accessible exploration of the craft. Drawing on his experience as a prize-winning novelist and lecturer, Cowan provides twelve chapters of guidance on mastering key aspects of fiction, including structure, character, voice, point of view, and setting.

This new edition includes expanded consideration of structure, point of view, and the organisation of time in the novel, as well as practical advice on approaching agents and publishers. With over 80 writing exercises and examples taken from dozens of novels and short stories, Cowan's book is enriched by his own experience as a novelist and lecturer.

Featuring insights from a range of writers, including Margaret Atwood, Richard Ford, and Ali Smith, among others, The Art of Writing Fiction provides invaluable guidance for readers interested in the theory, teaching, and practice of Creative Writing.
