This document discusses the key elements of fiction including plot structure, purpose, genre features, and techniques authors use. It explains that fiction is meant to entertain and share messages with readers. Key elements include an introductory conflict, character and setting development, ordered scenes, and a concluding resolution. Authors develop voice using sentence variety, punctuation, repetition, and details. They add depth using dialogue, character thoughts/feelings, descriptions of actions and settings. Proper editing techniques like dialogue marks, spelling, punctuation and capitalization are also important.
