  “True originality consists not in a new manner, but in a new vision.” 
   
  Grab a pen and hone your writing skills under the guidance one of the greatest teachers of the craft. 
   
  Edith Wharton made her claim in the literary world as the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize in Literature. She is famous for her works of fiction, which include The Age of Innocence, The House of Mirth, and Ethan Frome. Breaking from this tradition, The Writing of Fiction sets itself apart as a distinctive work of nonfiction, in which Wharton pulls back the curtain to reveal the theories behind a great story. 
   
  The Writing of Fiction delves into the timeless questions of all aspiring writers: 
   
  1. How do I find inspiration? 
  2. How do I turn thoughts and ideas into words? 
  3. How do I make my characters seem real? 
  4. How do I write something original when so much has already been written? 
  5. How do I tell a compelling story? 
  Wharton offers advice specific to writing short stories and writing novels. She pulls insights from other great writers along the way and concludes with an in-depth analysis of French novelist Marcel Proust. 
   
  The Writing of Fiction is a chance to mingle with renowned writers and find your own voice. Consider it Wharton’s personal invitation to discover your own potential and jump-start your creative process.

  The Spooky Art - Thoughts on...

  Norman Mailer

  “Writing is spooky,” according to Norman Mailer. “There is no routine of an office to keep you going, only the blank page each morning, and you never know where your words are coming from, those divine words.” In The Spooky Art, Mailer discusses with signature candor the rewards and trials of the writing life, and recommends the tools to navigate it. Addressing the reader in a conversational tone, he draws on the best of more than fifty years of his own criticism, advice, and detailed observations about the writer’s craft. 
  Praise for The Spooky Art 
  “The Spooky Art shows Mailer’s brave willingness to take on demanding forms and daunting issues.… He has been a thoughtful and stylish witness to the best and worst of the American century.” —The Boston Globe 
  “At his best—as artists should be judged—Mailer is indispensable, an American treasure. There is enough of his best in this book for it to be welcomed with gratitude.” —The Washington Post 
  “[The Spooky Art] should nourish and inform—as well as entertain—almost any serious reader of the novel.” —Baltimore Sun 
  “The richest book ever written about the writer’s subconscious.” —The Philadelphia Inquirer 
  “Striking…entrancingly frank.” —Entertainment Weekly
