New Ideas for Old Tropes

Characters, Emotion & Viewpoint by Nancy Kress

March 4, 2022 by sabian30 Leave a Comment

Nancy Kress is a well-known writing instructor. I was in a lecture just like week where the instructor quoted Ms. Kress. She’s an easy educator to read. Her style is smooth and conversational.
