What is a first draft? What is a narrative? In S is for Story: A Writer's Alphabet, author and writing coach Esther Hershenhorn uses the alphabet to help explain, explore, and examine the tools, techniques, and strategies for those hoping to live the literary life. Writing terms and topics are explained using a two-tier format. C is for the Character, every story's star, the one for whom we cheer, we care, with whom we travel far.

bold, of lumberjacks, their pals and gals, of railroad men of old.” On the side
of each page there are interesting facts about writers of that particular genre
or authors that used that writing tactic along with a quote of theirs. ( )
