{"product_id":"creative-writing-a-guide-and-glossary-to-fiction-writing-9780745636887","title":"Creative Writing: A Guide and Glossary to Fiction Writing","description":"All writers are familiar with terms like plot, suspense, conflict and character. They may be less familiar with intertextuality, anachrony, and fabula, and they may be even less confident in achieving the effects these terms refer to. This book defines fictional techniques and guides the potential writer in their use. It may spark off ideas for stories and novels and provide first-aid for failing stories. A story's ending may come as a surprise to the reader, suspense may have the reader on the edge of the seat, and conflict may lead to unbearable excitement. It is the job of the writer to create these effects and this book illustrates how it is done. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The book is for students doing creative writing in higher education, at \"A\" level, and it will be essential reading for anyone interested in writing fiction. \u003cbr\u003e Contents: \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e * Definitions of over 200 terms and techniques to do with fiction writing\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e * How to achieve fictional effects\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e * Literary examples of the techniques described\u003cbr\u003e Characteristics of genre as well as literary fiction\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e * Basic but essential techniques such as writing dialogue and using figures of speech\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e * Definitions of major terms used in publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Colin Bulman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.38w x 0.59d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745636887\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eColin Bulman \u003c\/b\u003ehas taught creative writing in universities for 20 years.
