In this compendium of writing prompts Brian Kiteley, former director of the University of Denver’s creative writing program, shares over two hundred exercises to explore the craft of fiction, find new avenues of inspiration, and be more productive. Kiteley encourages an approach to writing that imposes creative restrictions while ultimately invigorating and liberating the imagination.
