Dedicated to the classic books on fiction writing. Learn to write short stories, novels, and plays by studying the classic how-to books. I believe fiction writing is a Craft. In the hands of a writer who has mastered the Craft, it can become more than that. It can become Art. Art = Talent + Craft But the bedrock is Craft. There are fundamental techniques to be studied, unfamiliar tools to be mastered, tricks of the trade to be learned. And it all takes time. (Writing Mastery) (Writing Craft)

A Study of Prose Fiction by Bliss Perry (1902)
A Study of Prose Fiction by Bliss Perry (1902). The aim of this little
book is to discuss the outlines of the art of fiction. In writing it I
have followed more or less closely the notes prepared, a few years ago,
for a course of lectures on Prose Fiction at Princeton University. These
lectures were repeated with several classes and many teachers who have
had occasion to examine the syllabus of the lectures and the topical
work assigned in connection with them, have asked me to print a book
that would be adapted to effective use in the classroom. I have
confidence in the general method of fiction study which is here
outlined, although the kindly cooperation of my former pupils may have
then given the study a certain ardor which the book will fail to impart.
