Publishes Book on Fiction Writing 

MAILED: Sept. 16, 2002

         EAU CLAIRE — William H. Phillips, visiting professor of English at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, recently published a book titled "Writing Short Stories: The Most Practical Guide." Syracuse University Press published the book, which is the culmination of Phillips' years of experience teaching introductory creative writing courses.

Earlier drafts of the manuscript were used in creative writing courses and writers' groups and later revised in response to users' reactions and requests.
         Copies of the 140-page book are available at Borders bookstore in Eau Claire and through all major online booksellers.
         For more information on "Writing Short Stories: The Most Practical Guide," e-mail Phillips at philliwh@uwec.edu or call (715) 836-4215.
