Writing Fiction: A Guide to Narrative Craft by Janet Burroway
4.0
For my Writing the Short Story class.
A really great introduction to writing elements, and some of the short stories in here were superb. There was a lot of sound, excellent advice, and each chapter built on fundamentals from the previous to make it all a smooth and really thought-provoking experience. It's an expensive book, so I can't recommend it to every writer, but for a workshop-style class, this textbook is pitch-perfect.
