The Creative Writer, Level Three

The Creative Writer, Level Three complements Peace Hill Press's expository series Writing With Skill by providing the imaginative element that many students desire. Unlike most "how to write" books, these are designed to be used in a mentor/student relationship, with teaching, guidance, and evaluation tips provided for the mentor or teacher.

All exercises build towards the production of finished creative pieces, offering sequential, logical, step-by-step instruction. This third level builds on the introductory volume, The Creative Writer: Five Finger Exercises, but can be started directly by older students.

The book provides instruction in the five essentials of fiction: plot, characters, dialogue, point of view, and setting. Level Three leads students into the construction of more complex plots, evocative settings, and three-dimensional characters.

Additionally, the book offers guidance in the essential art of poetry: sound, rhythm, word choice, and poem construction. Level Three draws students into even more sophisticated use of words and themes.
