Description
Steering the Craft: A Twenty-first Century Guide to Sailing the Sea of Story by Ursula K. Le Guin is a concise and masterful guide to the craft of writing. Completely revised and rewritten to address modern challenges and opportunities, this handbook offers a short and deceptively simple approach to narrative fundamentals.
Le Guin's guide covers the essential components of narrative, from the sound of language to sentence construction to point of view, using illustrative examples from the global canon and her own witty commentary. Each chapter includes an exercise that the writer can do solo or in a group, as well as a comprehensive guide to working in writing groups, both actual and online.
This revised edition of Le Guin's classic guide is a must-have for writers looking to improve their craft and stay up-to-date with the latest challenges and opportunities in the writing world.
