520 _a"In Turning Life into Fiction, Robin Hemley offers a highly entertaining and in-depth manual - including writing exercises - on how to convert real life into good storytelling. He covers a wide range of subjects, including how to record and generate ideas from daily life and how to write effectively using true anecdotes, real places, and real people. A self-proclaimed liar and thief, Hemley also addresses the legal and ethical concerns of borrowing experience from the lives of strangers and loved ones."--BOOK JACKET
