Publisher Comments:

Most writing books dwell on common issues of style and grammar. Yet most writers also confront complex problems of story design.This 50-rule guide by Francis Flaherty, a New York Times editor, offers much-needed solutions and sage advice to address these concerns.

Sometimes, say things sideways, Flaherty writes. The reader will be grateful. White is whitest on black, he observes. Let contrast work for you. Through such hard-won, story-level insights, sprinkled with examples from real stories and leavened with a good dose of newsroom memoir, The Elements of Story merits a spot on every writer's shelf.

Synopsis:

In the spirit of "The Elements of Style," this nonfiction writing guide by a "New York Times" editor presents 50 secrets of successful narratives.
