A book full of good advice in an impossible-to-apply format. It's also unreadable. AND he gives no guidance for the order in which to make the changes he's suggesting. ( )

Epigraph
Dedication
First words
Drawing upon my experiences as a reader, writer, teacher, and editor in the genres of poetry, fiction, playwriting, literary criticism, and imaginative nonfiction--with a heavy emphasis on fiction--I have accumulated a checklist of problems I encounter in fiction as I read, in my own writing as I write, in works that I teach, and in manuscripts I encounter as editor and teacher.
