The publishing experts we follow have plenty of craft advice to offer.
Here are the ones that we thought were can't-miss for our authors:
-
How the old becomes new: Kathryn Craft explains how to use genres, tropes, and archetypes, when you're seeking a tried-and-true structure to support your original story (Writer Unboxed).
-
How to turn an anecdote into a story: Novelist and writing instructor Lesley Krueger unpacks how any anecdote differs from a story, using an odd encounter she had with a neighbor years ago to illustrate her point (Jane Friedman).
-
The story within the story: David Corbett reflects on the concept of a life narrative and whether or not a character can be said to be operating within its own ... or under another character's (Writer Unboxed).
