🖋️ Introduction
Can writing be learned? What role should writing teachers play? What is a good writing class like? What qualities and abilities should writers have?
This book is a collection of creative talks by Wallace Stegner, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, and founder of the Stanford University Writing Class. The author discusses and answers various questions about novel writing and teaching with ease, from the acquisition of inspiration to the self-training of writers, from the origins of creative writing to classroom examples. He leads readers into the Stanford University writing class and, together with countless outstanding writers, "learns from" the true masters.
🖋️ Media recommendations
Although Wallace Steiger is known as the "father of creative writing", he rarely talks about writing from the perspective of "modifiable art" and "teachable craft", so this little book about writing is invaluable to all creators. There is no ready-made blueprint for creating a novel here, only something more important - the necessary tools to become a novelist.

Elegant, generous, passionate, and prolific - this is Wallace Stegner. He told countless excellent writers what the core of writing is, and he taught them to have a broad vision and sincerity.
