Time and the Novel

Sarah Stone, author of the novel The True Sources of the Nile as well as two books on the craft of writing, has a terrific new post up on RedRoom, “Navigating Time in Fiction”.

Check out Sarah’s highly informative book, Deepening Fiction: A Practical Guide for Intermediate and Advanced Writers.
