Own a copy and applying it to my current critiques. Covers the important and common pitfalls with a plethora of examples. Also covers nonfiction with specific recommendations on memoirs, travel, self-help/how-to--and even picture books, beginning-reader, and chapter books. Recommended by my local chapter of the California Writers Club (est. 1909). ( )
