For a story to be successful, it must come alive on the page. With Description & Setting, you will learn how to make every detail count as you create believable people, places and events. This valuable reference:

• Shows you how to master the challenging - and often overlooked - subjects of description and setting
• Offers hands-on action-and-results excercises that allow you to incorporate lessons into your own work
• Provides busy writers, such as yourself, with accessible information through sidebars, excercises, checklists and more

With clear examples from popular fiction and tips for specific genres, bringing a story to life has never been this easy or this fun.
