Gotham Writers' Workshop Writing Fiction by Gotham Writers' Workshop

A rare work of nonfiction from Edith Wharton, The Writing of Fiction contains brilliant advice on writing from the first woman ever to win a Pulitzer Prize.

In 1921, Edith Wharton won a Pulitzer Prize for her first novel, The Age of Innocence, making her the first woman to ever win the prestigious award.

In the pages of The Writing of Fiction Wharton provides insight and general comments on the roots of modern fiction, the various approaches to writing a piece of fiction, and the development of form and style.

Additionally, Wharton devotes entire chapters to the telling of a short story, the construction of a novel, and the importance of character and situation in the novel.

Not only a valuable treatise on the art of writing, The Writing of Fiction also allows readers to experience the inimitable but seldom heard voice of one of America's most important and beloved writers and includes a final chapter on the pros and cons of Marcel Proust.

Founded in 1993 by Jeff Grae and David Fligelman, Gotham Writers' Workshop is the leading writing school in New York and in the United States. Based in New York City, it reaches more writing students than any other school, offering more than 400 courses to 6,000 students each year.
