Writing with Rosie: You Can Write a Story Too

Patricia Reilly Giff presents fiction writing as a sequence of basic storytelling steps, drawing on her own writing and on life with her golden retriever puppy, Rosie. As she explains how stories are made, Rosie’s energetic interruptions become part of the guide’s humorous frame. “Your Turn” sections invite readers to take part in the process themselves, connecting the author’s examples with opportunities to try writing.
