A creative writer's shelf should hold at least three essential books: a dictionary, a style guide, and Writing Fiction. Janet Burroway's best-selling classic is the most widely used creative writing text in America, and for more than three decades it has helped hundreds of thousands of students learn the craft. Now in its tenth edition, Writing Fiction is more accessible than ever for writers of all levels--inside or outside the classroom.

This new edition continues to provide advice that is practical, comprehensive, and flexible. Burroway's tone is personal and nonprescriptive, welcoming learning writers into the community of practiced storytellers. Moving from freewriting to final revision, the book addresses "showing not telling," characterization, dialogue, atmosphere, plot, imagery, and point of view. It includes new topics and writing prompts, and each chapter now ends with a list of recommended readings that exemplify the craft elements discussed, allowing for further study. And the examples and quotations throughout the book feature a wide and diverse range of today's best and best-known creators of both novels and short stories.

This book is a master class in creative writing that also calls on us to renew our love of storytelling and celebrate the skill of writing well. There is a very good chance that one of your favorite authors learned the craft with Writing Fiction. And who knows what future favorite will get her start reading this edition?

Dogs love them
Color: GT-2P
I have 5 large dogs and they love their chew toys but are picky and tend to tear up the ones they like. These large bones are perfect for my 70 - 90 pounds dogs and are almost indestructible. Most chew toys last a day with them these have lasted a couple of weeks and show no sign of being destroyed anytime soon.

Works for my aggressive chewer
Color: GT-2P
It is extremely hard material! My puppy is 6 month old and rips through everything and these absolutely have lasted longer than any plush toys, bully sticks etc. I honestly didn't think I would like them for her but she definitely aggressively choose on these all the time and they hold up so well. If you have a dog that aggressively choose these work for mine.
