Steering the Craft: A Twenty-First-Century Guide to Sailing the Sea of Story by Ursula K. Le Guin



Overview: A revised and updated guide to the essentials of a writer’s craft, presented by a brilliant practitioner of the art

She also offers a comprehensive guide to working in writing groups, both actual and online
