Crafting Stories is a 216-page creative writing guide from Broadview Press, written by poet and professor Ethel Rackin. It is a compact, classroom-oriented book that walks through the elements of fiction and narrative craft, with exercises and readings aimed at beginning writers. It sits closer to a course text than to a breezy how-to, so it suits students and workshop participants more than readers hunting for quick prompts. Compared with longer, anthology-heavy craft books, it is short and focused, which reviewers tend to see as either efficient or thin depending on what they wanted.

Reception is limited, but the book is generally regarded as a solid, no-frills introduction to narrative craft suited to coursework. Readers who want a compact guide tend to find it useful; those expecting a large anthology of readings or advanced technique may find it slim.
