"THE WRITER'S FIELD GUIDE TO THE CRAFT OF FICTION offers a refreshing approach to the craft of fiction writing.

I read a lot of 'how to' books on writing. All of them have been useful, because for novices there is so much to learn. This one is exceptional in my opinion. The author shows the reader why good writing works and then he encourages us to strive for it. Readers will enjoy the veil being lifted on the craft. ( )
