Short Story Writing (Paperback)

Advice on writing and selling short stories. All the techniques such as dialogue, characterization, scene, pace, atmosphere and many others are covered in the central section on practical skills, while the commercial aspect is dealt with in a piece dedicated to selling one's stories. There is also a market study. Dilys Gater, author of hundreds of short stories (and many novels), believes in starting not with the story but with the writer to produce the most effective approach to success in this highly competitive field.
