This book was released on 2018-02-24 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art and the Business of Story Writing If this is true, it must be evident that whoever writes fiction aimlessly, never surveying the various advantages of the work nor choosing one advantage as the end to be sought, foredooms himself to much grief. He may win out, in the long run; but his victory will be dearly won. He will probably spend years writing for the public stories which please only himself, and he may wreck his natural style by trying to make it serve an end which it cannot attain. This becomes clear the moment we consider the legitimate purposes of writing fiction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Short Story-Writing: An Art or a Trade? For I have been teaching, for a number of years, the Technique of Short story-writing, and my guidance and judgment have meant life and death to countless stories born in the breasts and minds of trustful people. I have been the great discour ager and encourager Of genius and quasi-genius, and I know my hands are not without stain of liter ary blood. I am not reproaching myself. Among the many hundreds Of men and women who derive their daily bread and clothes and gasoline by directing the story-fancy Of the country's million or more literary aspirants, I class myself among the most conscientious and least harmful. The share of in jury I may have contributed has simply been the unavoidable accompaniment of being engaged in a profession grounded upon the popular belief that literature is a trade, like plumbing, or tailoring, or hod-carrying, and requires but an understanding of the stupendous emoluments involved and a will to learn. That it is in the interests of the profession to foster and perpetuate this popular belief needs no elaborate substantiation. But that the belief itself should be based on a measure of solid truth is a sardonic phenomenon calling for enlightening discussion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Short Story Writing: A Practical Treatise on the Art of the Short Story The modern short story is essentially an American product; and our masters Of its art have established precedents for literary workers Of the Old World. In England, Stevenson, Kipling and Haggard are con sidered the originators Of the modern short story; and Zola, de Maupassant, Daudet and Paul Marguerite In, France, Tolstoi in Russia, and other famous foreign au thors have their claims for consideration; but all of them, admittedly or not, are but disciples Of the earlier American trinity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Story Writing: Facts and Information About Literary Work of Practical Value to Both Amateur and Professional Writers To refuse to discuss the making of literature commercially, or from a business point of view, would be unfair and unprofitable. It is obvious that the majority of writers con sider their pens as remunerative tools, and that they produce literature, or what resembles it, not wholly for fame and for the good that they may do, but because of the money received, or expected, from their work. The making and marketing of literature, then, are not removed wholly from the rules or laws which govern the manufacture of a commodity.

This book was released on 2018-07-27 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook on Story Writing When in 1910 I undertook the teaching Of the short-story to a class of undergraduates at Hunter College, I found a dearth of books on the theory of story writing. There were Poe's examples and his body Of criticism, from which help might be de duced; there was the pioneer Philosophy Of Pro fessor Matthews, and there were two or three texts whose chief value lay in their exposition Of the genre. After no great length of time a growing suspicion asserted itself that although my students could write unusually well, frequently with suggestion of charm and power, yet they were not always writing stories. They fell short Of modern narrative requirement. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of the Short Story The principles of narrative structure which I have set down here are for the most part true of the novel as well as of the short story, though for conciseness and clearness I have discussed their application chiefly to the latter. They are, most of them, commonly enough held, though in my college work I have felt the need of a book which should collect and relate them in simple, orderly, and yet comprehensive fashion. The material is scattered, and the amateur writer cannot easily find it. For other than commonplace and accepted principles of structure I have relied chiefly on Stevenson, whose letters and essays are filled with comments of technical interest to writers. It is unfortunate that he never wrote his promised work, a small and arid book upon the art of fiction. Most of my indebtedness to Stevenson is specifically acknowledged in the following pages.

Book Synopsis Juvenile Story Writing (Classic Reprint) by : Mabel Louise Robinson
Download or read book Juvenile Story Writing (Classic Reprint) written by Mabel Louise Robinson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Juvenile Story Writing Although many books on story writing have been evolved for the use of the beginner, they have all been directed toward the creation of stories for adults. The art of story telling for children has been the basis for a number of books, but the technique of story writing for them has never been separated from that of writing for adults. Work with my classes in Juvenile Writing at Columbia University has convinced me that there is a legitimate place for a book which deals with the special needs of young people in their litera ture. The present text has grown out of lectures and discussions connected with the classes at the University. This book is intended for parents, teachers, writers, or any person who is interested in an attempt to provide for children the kind of writing which will satisfy their growing needs and will develop in them a hunger for more and better sustenance. The lists of books appended to the various chapters are by no means meant to be exhaustive. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis The Technique of Fiction Writing (Classic Reprint) by : Robert Saunders Dowst
Download or read book The Technique of Fiction Writing (Classic Reprint) written by Robert Saunders Dowst and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Technique of Fiction Writing Many books have been written on fiction technique, and the chief excuse for the present addition to the number is the complexity of the subject. Its range is so wide, it calls for so many and so different capacities in one attempting to discuss it, that a new work has more than a chance to meet at least two or three deficiences in all other treatments. I believe that the chief deficiency in most works on fiction technique is that the author unconsciously has slipped from the viewpoint of a writer of a story to that of a reader. Now a reader without intention to try his own hand at the game is not playing fair in studying technique, and a book on technique has no business to entertain him. Accordingly, I have striven to keep to the viewpoint of one who seeks to learn how to write stories, and have made no attempt to analyze the work of masters of fiction for the sake of the analysis alone. Such analysis is interesting to make, and also interesting to read, but it is not directly profitable to the writer. It is indirectly profitable, of course, but it will give very little direct aid to one who has a definite story idea and wishes to be told the things he must consider in developing it and writing the story, or to one who wishes to be told roughly how he should go about the business of finding real stories.

Book excerpt: This classic guide, from the renowned novelist and professor, has helped transform generations of aspiring writers into masterful writers—and will continue to do so for many years to come. John Gardner was almost as famous as a teacher of creative writing as he was for his own works. In this practical, instructive handbook, based on the courses and seminars that he gave, he explains, simply and cogently, the principles and techniques of good writing. Gardner’s lessons, exemplified with detailed excerpts from classic works of literature, sweep across a complete range of topics—from the nature of aesthetics to the shape of a refined sentence. Written with passion, precision, and a deep respect for the art of writing, Gardner’s book serves by turns as a critic, mentor, and friend. Anyone who has ever thought of taking the step from reader to writer should begin here.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of the Story-Teller The justification of the old-fashioned moral was not artistic but didactic. It embodied the determina tion of the story-teller to see that his pupils got the full benefit of the lesson involved. If the moral is to be cut out, the story-teller must be sure that the lesson is so clearly conveyed in the text that any further elaboration would be felt as an impertinent addition. Whately assures us that men prefer metaphors to Similes because in the Simile the point is baldly stated, whereas in the metaphor the reader or hearer has to be his own interpreter. All education is in the last resort self-education, and Miss Shedlock sees to it that her stories compel her hearers to make the application she desires. In two other points modern opinion is prepared to give our authoress rein where our forefathers would have been inclined to restrain her. The sense of humour has come to its proper place in our school rooms - pupils' humour, be it understood, for there always was scope enough claimed for the humour of the teacher. So with the imagination. The time is past when this mode of being conscious was looked at askance in school. Parents and teachers no longer speak contemptuously about the busy faculty, and quote Genesis in its condemnation. Miss Shedlock has been well advised to keep to her legitimate subject instead of wandering afield in a Teutonic excursion into the realms of folk-lore. What parents and teachers want is the story as here and now existing and an account of how best to manipulate it. This want the book now before us admirably meets.
