This book is a "must-have" for any writer, new or not.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Within these well-organized pages, Valerie Storey distills the massive amount of confusing, and often conflicting, advice facing writers today into the basic information necessary for crafting a short story, novel, or non-fiction manuscript. Her clear and gentle style guides even the most reluctant writer around obstacles in the path to publication that might otherwise end a productive career.With her eye for what editors want, Ms. Storey presents an unflinching look at all aspects of the business--from getting ideas down on paper to coping with rejection AND acceptance. The Seven-Point-Plotting system she explains helps bring her readers' current projects into focus. In addition, writing assignments at the chapter ends enable a reader to get right to work and use what he has learned. Though I have been writing for a long time, I found much of value in this book. It is one of those resources to keep handy for continued use again and again.
