Title: The graceful lie
First published: 1999
Description: The Graceful Lie takes an entirely original approach to teaching fiction writing. While some fiction writing books focus on the formal requirements of the story, and others present a process-centered, Zen method, The Graceful Lie combines the best of these strategies and adds a number of innovative features.

The Graceful Lie actively involves writers in a process that is at once personally relevant and grounded in scholarship. It engages readers by providing an eclectic contemporary reading experience, while giving prospective writers friendly and practical instruction in the creation and publication of prose fiction.
