Summary:
Whether youre huddled around the campfire, composing an email to a friend, or sitting down to write a novel,
storytelling
is fundamental to human nature. But as any writer can tell you, the blank page can be daunting. Its tough to know where to get started, what details to include in each scene, and how to move from the kernel of an idea to a completed manuscript.

great

storytelling
that can be learned, and studying the
fiction
writers
techniques
can be incredibly rewardingboth personally and professionally.
