The Fundamentals of Fiction

Whether working on your first novel or tenth, William Bernhardt's The Fundamentals of Fiction is an invaluable writing tool the reader will refer to again and again. For the past decade, William Bernhardt, New York Times-best-selling author (Capitol Conspiracy, Murder One) and one of the nation's most in-demand writing instructors, has guided select students through this comprehensive fiction workshop. Bernhardt inducts students into the Red Sneaker School of Writing, cutting through the obfuscation that sometimes cloaks the writing process. Bernhardt tells aspiring writers what they need to know, systematically addressing all the critical elements of storytelling: structure, character, plot, viewpoint, editing and revision. He reveals the secrets and techniques that can transform ordinary writing into extraordinary, high quality, publishable fiction.
