While creative writing manuals tend to use examples from twentieth- and twenty- first-century writers, The Jane Austen Writers' Club is the first to look at the methods and devices used by the world's most beloved novelist. Austen was a creator of immortal characters and a pioneer in her use of language and point of view; her advice continues to be relevant two centuries after her death. Here Rebecca Smith examines the major aspects of writing fiction--plotting, characterization, openings and endings, dialogue, settings, and writing methods--sharing the advice Austen gave in letters to her aspiring novelist nieces and nephew, and providing many and varied exercises for writers to try, using examples from Austen's work,"--Amazon.com. 600 10 Austen, Jane,|d1775-1817|xCriticism and interpretation. 600 10 Austen, Jane,|d1775-1817|xInfluence. 650 0 Authorship. 650 0 Creative writing. 655 7 Literature.|2lcgft 700 1 Coleman, Sarah|q(Sarah Jane),|eillustrator.
