Editorial Reviews
Laurie Champion, Sul Ross State University
Offers concrete advice for organizing fiction.

Antonya Nelson, author of Living to Tell Them and Nobody's Girl
Madison Smartt Bell's Narrative Design is one of those books you might need to take with you to your writerly desert isle. It offers all of the essential instructions for writing fiction, as well as providing wonderful examples of the end product, and then supplying brilliant analysis of them. His is a thorough, fascinating, forgiving, good-hearted, unique, and - most impressively - useful book.
