Can you recommend some of the best books on revising fiction?

One of the great books on revising fiction is 'Self - Editing for Fiction Writers' by Renni Browne and Dave King. It offers practical advice on various aspects like dialogue, point of view, and showing vs. telling.

Definitely. 'Red Clocks' by Leni Zumas was one of the best in 2018 fiction. It's set in a world where abortion is illegal and women's rights are being restricted. It's a dystopian novel that makes you think about current social and political issues. 'The Immortalists' by Chloe Benjamin was also excellent, exploring the idea of knowing one's death date and how it affects lives.

One of the top 2023 fiction books is 'Chain - Gang All - Stars'. It's a really unique book that makes you think about the prison system and how society treats inmates. It has a very engaging and somewhat disturbing concept that keeps you hooked from start to finish.

Sure. 'Life After Life' by Kate Atkinson is a great one. It's a unique story that plays with the concept of reincarnation in a really interesting way. The main character keeps reliving her life, and each time it's different. It's a thought - provoking read.

Sure. 'Trust' by Hernan Diaz is a remarkable 2023 fiction book. It plays with different narrative styles and perspectives to tell a story about wealth, power, and the illusions of the American Dream. It keeps you guessing and re - evaluating what you've read throughout.

Sure. 'The School for Good Mothers' by Jessamine Chan is a great 2022 fiction. It's a dystopian novel that looks at motherhood in a very different light, making readers question society's expectations of mothers.

Yes. 'Demon Copperhead' is definitely one. It's a coming - of - age story that takes place in a very specific cultural and geographical setting. The characters are vividly drawn and the story is both heart - breaking and heart - warming at the same time. There's also 'Victory City' which is full of rich descriptions of a fictional city and its history, with elements of magic and legend that make it a very immersive read.

I'm not sure specifically which are the best 2024 fiction books yet. But books from popular genres like science fiction and fantasy are often good bets. Maybe there will be a new space - adventure novel that takes readers on an exciting journey among the stars. Or a fantasy book with a richly - created magical world and a heroic protagonist.

Sure. 'The Ministry for the Future' by Kim Stanley Robinson. It's a book that focuses on climate change and how the future might be shaped in response to it. It has interesting characters and a really engaging plot.

Sure. 'The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet' by David Mitchell is a great one. It's set in 18th - century Japan and has a richly detailed historical backdrop. The story is full of adventure, love, and cultural clashes.
