Written by: John Gardner
First line: This is a book designed to teach the serious beginning writer the art of fiction.
Why you should read this book: Very straightforward, exactly what it says on the tin: notes (an entire book's worth) directed to an audience of people who wish to tell stories but have not yet achieved mastery of the art. Even for accomplished writers, the information here may still be ideas that they have never articulated, even if they have assimilated them into their work. Also contains a chapter of writing exercises, some for small groups and some for individuals.
Why you shouldn't read this book: You aren't interested in learning to write fiction.
