What aspiring writers can learn from the world's masters of fiction--a truly novel approach to storytelling. Master Class in Fiction Writing lets you learn the craft of writing from the best storytellers of the past two centuries. Under the direction of renowned creative writing coach Adam Sexton, they'll learn point of view from Toni Morrison, description from Vladimir Nabokov, characterization from Jane Austen, and plot construction from Joseph Conrad, to name just a few. Over the course of just ten chapters you can master all the components of great short story and novel writing. Adam Sexton taught me how to read like a writer--and, in a way, how to write like a reader.
