About the book

Monica Woods helps you squeeze out the greatest flavor from the language. She segments description like an orange, separating its slices to let you sample each one. Wood teaches by example, developing stories with characters in various situations, to show you how you can apply description techniques. You'll also see samples of work by such noted writers as Mark Helprin, Anne Tyler and Raymond Carver. And you'll find the dos and don'ts, lists and descriptive alternatives to common verbs and nouns, and tips for editing your work.
