Writing Fiction: A Guide to Narrative Craft by Janet Burrow et al is often required reading in intro college creative writing courses. Also recommended is Diana Gabaldon’s short book “I Give You My Body” How I Write Sex Scenes. Given how poorly most sex scenes are written (in all genres, not just romance), this is a book more prospective authors should read. 😊
Thank you so much! I really am on the lookout for some books on the topic. This is gretaly appreciated
I’m not planning to write, but I do think understanding the writing process enhances the reading process. I have been looking for books like this for some time. Thank you!
Highly agreed. And your comments are highly appreciated.
