Lee Martin's essay collection on writing fiction and memoir, published by University of Nebraska Press in 2017. Martin, a Pulitzer Prize finalist for his memoir From Our House, writes about how narrative works and how a writing life is actually lived. It sits closer to reflective craft essays than to step-by-step manuals like Stephen King's On Writing or the exercises-heavy guides. Best for writers who want insight into scene, voice and revision rather than a workbook of prompts.

Reviewers treat it as a thoughtful, well-written collection of craft essays rather than a writing course. Writers praise Martin's honesty about the writing life and his concrete examples from his own work. Some beginners find it short on step-by-step guidance.
