Among them are a few select classics that reveal the essential elements of good storytelling. <em>The Art of Creative Writing</em> is such a classic. As in the bestselling <em>The Art of Dramatic Writing</em>, still considered one of the most essential books on playwriting more than 75 years after publication, the author outlines in detail his highly acclaimed Egri Method of Creative Writing and shows how to apply it to all fiction formats--novels, short stories, and screenplays. <br /><br /> Grounded in Egri's assertion that "Every type of creative writing depends upon the credibility of a character," here is concise, clear advice on the most important element of good writing: characterization. Step by step, Egri shows writers how to probe the secrets of human motivation to create flesh-and-blood characters who create suspense and conflict, and who grow emotionally under stress and strain. <br /><br /> As practical as it is inspiring, <em>The Art of Creative Writing</em> remains a timeless, illuminating guide that teaches every writer, and aspiring writer, how to create works that are both compelling and enduring.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Lajos Egri</b> (1888-1967) was born in Hungary and founded the Egri School of Writing in New York City in the 1930s.
