Adam Sexton's craft guide teaches fiction technique by dissecting passages from Austen, Hemingway, and other canonical writers, then asking the reader to try the same moves in exercises. It is a compact 256-page paperback from McGraw Hill, aimed at beginners and intermediate writers who want structured lessons rather than inspiration alone. Compared with the many MFA-style craft anthologies, it is more of a workbook: short chapters, close readings, and prompts. Reviewers tend to value the concrete examples and find the exercises useful, though some experienced writers want more depth and more contemporary examples.

Craft-book readers generally praise the close-reading approach and the practical exercises, calling it a solid starting point for learning fiction technique. The common complaint is that the material stays introductory and the example authors feel dated.
