Writers struggle to choose the right word, form a well-ordered sentence and paragraph, and tell a story from an intriguing viewpoint with the perfect details. Francine Prose advises writers to seek help in what has already been written. Read to see how other writers’ words set the perfect mood, paint vivid images, and convey layers of meanings. Reading Like a Writer reminds us to be careful observers of the written word.
