The Writing of Fiction is Edith Wharton's 1925 essay collection on craft, written after she won the Pulitzer Prize for The Age of Innocence. She covers character, the short story, and how a novel is built, in prose that is opinionated and precise rather than instructional. It suits readers who want a master novelist's thinking on how fiction works, not a step-by-step manual. Compared with how-to guides like Stephen King's On Writing, it is more essay than memoir and more formal in style, and it rewards readers already familiar with Wharton's novels.

Readers treat it as a classic of writing advice from a major novelist, valued for its insight into character and structure. Some find its era-bound examples and formal style harder going than modern craft books.
