Writing Fiction: A Guide to Narrative Craft by Janet Burroway

5.0

I have two editions of this book. The advantage and disadvantage of the 10th edition is that none of the stories are included. This makes the book less expensive. As Burroway says, it can also function as a way for students to get the stories at the library. This is laudable but not realistic and, at least in my case, impossible, as the chances of finding all of the referenced stories in a library near me are slim to none. My suggestion is to buy the 10th edition and also one of the older ones as used books, that way at least you have some representative stories to go to. I do like the 10th edition for the fact that it has been updated so has excerpts from current short stories and novels.
