      abstract = {Written by best-selling author Janet Burroway, Imaginative  Writing -- an introduction to creative writing -- covers  all four genres: creative nonfiction, fiction, poetry, and  drama. Imaginative Writing discusses elements of craft  common to all creative writing before delving into the  individual genres. After an introduction, the next five  chapters each investigate a specific element of craft --  Image, Voice, Character, Setting, and Story -- from a  perspective that crosses all genres. Integrated readings  from talented and renowned writers illustrate the chapter  topics. Chapter 7 explores development and revision and  serves as a bridge between the craft chapters and the genre  chapters -- Creative Nonfiction, Fiction, Poetry, and  Drama. This unique organization allows students to  experiment with creative techniques shared by all genres  before deciding which form best suits their imagination.  Unique "Try-This" exercises help students develop writing  skills, while "Working Toward a Draft" exercises encourage  students to think ahead about the direction and  possibilities of their work. - Publisher.},
