About this title

Synopsis

It's easy for people to write about their feelings in a journal. It's more difficult, however, to convert personal experiences into stories worthy of publication--fiction, nonfiction or poetry. Meg Files teaches writers how to transform their raw experiences into finished pieces. They'll learn how to identify story-worthy material, conquer fears associated with personal exposure, determine a story's focus, shape the material into a cohesive whole, then edit and revise as needed.

Writers working in any form will find this book invaluable for supplying them with the inspiration and practical instruction they need to get their experiences and emotions on paper and into print.

About the Author

Meg Files has taught creative writing for thirty years. She now teaches at Pima College in Tucson, Arizona, and administers an annual writer's retreat through Colorado Mountain College. She is the author of two works of fiction, Meridian 144 and Home is the Hunter. She has also published a collection of poems titled The Love Hunter. Her short stories, articles, essays and poems have been published in numerous literary magazines as well as large-circulation publications.
