Michael Oyewole asked Whitney Scharer:

Hi. How do you improve your writing, particularly grammar? How do you improve your fiction writing? Thanks.

Whitney Scharer Hi Michael! Thanks for your question. I think the best way to improve your writing is to read fiction--read as much as you can, as widely as you can. You'll get all sorts of ideas about how to structure your stories, how to use imagery, etc. I'd also recommend picking up an introductory fiction writing book. I love Janet Burroway's Writing Fiction, and Anne Lamott's Bird by Bird. Happy writing!
