Signature's 2018 Compact Guide to Writing Short Stories by Joseph O'Neill digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Short stories may be compact, but they still take time to write. Nailing down your character, story arc, and message in a limited number of pages is a challenge.

We want to help, so we reached out to some of our favorite short story writers, including Tadzio Koelb, Karin Tidbeck, Joseph O’Neill, and more, for their advice on the craft of writing short fiction. In our Compact Guide to Writing Short Stories, you’ll get advice on:

How to read like a writer;
The importance of character;
Crafting the perfect scene;
Why process is vital;
and more!
