Paperback. Condition: New. A practical guide that shows fiction writers how thoughtful choices in language, character, plot, and style shape compelling, authentic stories from draft to finish.Crafting Revision in Fiction: One Word Shapes the Story offers a practical, revision-centered approach to teaching and learning fiction writing, focusing on how stories are discovered, reshaped, and strengthened through multiple drafts. Rather than treating revision as polishing language or correcting errors, this book presents revision as the core creative act through which writers clarify character desire, build narrative tension, and align structure with meaning. Stories are shown to develop not through sudden inspiration, but through sustained attention to choices made at the level of scene, sequence, and point of view.Written for undergraduate writers, multilingual students, and instructors teaching fiction in diverse classroom contexts, the book addresses key elements of fiction through revision-based strategies. Students learn how to revise scenes for conflict and momentum, rethink character motivation, manage pacing, and experiment with narrative perspective. The text emphasizes global revision alongside sentence-level refinement, helping writers understand how local choices contribute to the larger shape of a story. Rather than prescribing formulas, the book encourages writers to test possibilities, revise deliberately, and take responsibility for narrative decisions.Throughout the volume, real student stories serve as the foundation for instruction. Each chapter demonstrates how drafts evolve through expansion, cutting, reordering, and re-seeing, reinforcing revision as a process of discovery rather than correction. By positioning revision as the engine of fiction writing, Crafting Revision in Fiction: One Word Shapes the Story provides instructors with a flexible, teachable framework and helps students develop stronger stories grounded in intention, clarity, and narrative control.…

Rather than offering fixed templates, the book encourages experimentation and reconsideration, helping students develop a nonfiction voice grounded in honesty, attention, and responsibility to the reader.…

Each chapter breaks down a key element of poetic craft and demonstrates how it functions within a poem.

Paperback. Condition: New. Crafting Revision in Academic Writing: One Word Strengthens an Argument challenges the idea that academic writing is best learned through rigid templates, surface-level correctness, or one-time drafts. Instead, this book positions revision as the central intellectual activity of academic writing, where students learn to clarify ideas, align structure with argument, and make purposeful rhetorical choices. Designed for undergraduate university writers, the book guides students through drafting, revising, and re-seeing their work with an emphasis on global revision, sentence-level refinement, and genre awareness. Rather than presenting academic writing as a fixed set of rules, the text frames it as a series of decisions shaped by audience, purpose, and disciplinary context. Through clear explanations, real student writing examples, and guided revision strategies, this volume helps students move beyond compliance-based writing toward clarity, confidence, and ownership of their academic voice.…
