Some of our creative writing teachers here have asked me if I know of texts for creative writing classes that focus on the stylistics, grammar, and mechanics of creative writing. I think they're looking for something that's more than a general style guide or handbook. Rather, they're wondering if there's a text that seems focused on creative writing and how the rules for punctuation, sentence combining, etc. might fit in (and matter) to a creative writer. Does anyone know of such texts (or even related research)? Larry Beason
