There are a lot of books written about writing books. For the most part each of them says the same thing so if you are looking at this book you are probably asking yourself, "What makes Writing Fiction Step by Step by Josip Novakovich different?" Or at least, "Why should I buy this one?" Those are great questions. Let me help you answer them.

Writing Fiction Step by Step breaks down the writing process into a step by step process which writers can use to develop their craft. I know what you are saying, "Well duh Mike! It says that in the title." I know it does but it needed to be said so I can point out that Josip emphasizes that step by step process with over 200 clever exercises. Each exercise asks you to write something and to focus on a particular kind of character, dialogue, plot or theme (among others). Through these exercises writers will find themselves developing their skill by actually using it. As many writers have said before, "If you want to be a writer you need to write." Each chapter and exercise builds on the ones which came before them. As you work your way through this book you will find yourself developing a cohesive tool set with which to produce interesting fiction. In fact, you will find you have already written a great deal of interesting fiction. All you need to do after that is keep writing.
