In this revised and expanded edition on the art and craft of writing fiction, David Jauss leads writers on a journey deep into the writing process. Bret Lott says of this book, "The best way I know to discover how words do their work, and to understand how they can become art, is for the apprentice to study with a fierce and compassionate master of that art. David Jauss is just such a master, and this book grants its readers-you who desire to know what it means to write-an invaluable course of study, all at the hands of this extraordinary teacher, writer, and human."
