Review: The Art of Fiction: Notes on Craft for Young Writers

The Art of Fiction: Notes on Craft for Young Writers by John Gardner
My rating: 0 of 5 stars

There are many good tips for writers within these pages once you get past the author's pedantic attitude and overt sense of literary snobbery. I found, since I have not taking many formal writing classes, this book provided me with some of the "rules" for writing for publication that were more esoteric. I highly recommend this book for just about anyone, but especially for folks who find themselves drawn to the writing craft who may not have taken advantage of creative writing classes in their education background.
