Storycraft by Jack Hart
Covers what narrative writers need to know, from understanding story theory and structure, to mastering point of view and such basic elements as scene, action, and character, to drafting, revising, and editing work for publication. This book reveals the stories behind the stories.
"Instructive and essential, reading Storycraft is like finding the secret set of blueprints to the writer's craftBetter still, it is engaging, funny, and wise - wonderful to read and wonderful to learn from." (Susan Orlean) "Despite a career focused on the world of journalism, the author demonstrates much insight into the canon of more 'literary' creative nonfiction by choosing sound examples that are both accessible and widely acclaimed.... This book can function as both a practical introduction to narrative nonfiction and a concise refresher for professionals." (Choice)"
