More than 250,000 copies sold 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?Binding Type: Paperback

Beautiful design
Simple, functional and beautifully designed, I'm glad I bought it.
(not a five starts just because I thought it was higher, but again, my fault for not reviewing the specs first)

Not Your Average Laptop Stand
One of the things that I always worry about with stands for my computer is how sturdy they will be. If they aren't sturdy, they aren't really worth having. This is super sturdy -- I don't feel any bounce or flex when I work on it. It's also super well made and looks good sitting on my desk. Both of those things make this one of the best stands that I've used. I just wish it were adjustable.

I’m really impressed with these 12-inch Heavy Duty Floating Shelf Brackets!
Size: 12 Inch, Style: Black 6Pack
I recently installed them in my living room to hold some books and decorative items, and they’ve been fantastic. The brackets feel extremely solid and well-made — the 1/5-inch thick iron gives them a sturdy, industrial look and they hold the shelves without any wobbling or sagging. I also love the sleek black finish; it looks modern and stylish, and it really complements my décor.
Installation was straightforward and stress-free because the set comes with screws, anchors, and a lever — everything I needed to get the shelves up securely. The pack of six brackets is great because it gave me enough for multiple shelves and even an extra in case I need it.
The only minor thing to note is that aligning the brackets perfectly requires a bit of patience, but once leveled, they hold like a dream.
Overall, these brackets are a great combination of strength, style, and value. They’ve made my shelves look clean and professional, and I feel confident they’ll last for years. Highly recommend for anyone looking for heavy-duty, attractive shelf support!

High quality look for office
Size: 10 Inch, Style: Black 4Pack, Size: 10 Inch, Style: Black 4Pack
These brackets were exactly what I was looking for. Very solid construction, clean powder-coated finish, and they gave the shelves a modern industrial look without being bulky. Installation was straightforward, and once mounted into studs they felt extremely sturdy.
I used them for floating wood shelves and was honestly impressed with how much weight they can handle without flexing. The black finish also matched perfectly with the rest of the room hardware.
For the price, these are a great value and look far more expensive than they are. Would definitely buy again for future projects.
