Wonderful 18 April 2012

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

This is super helpful and a must for any young writer. See especially the advice by M.J Hyland. Very good stuff indeed.

Writer's review 15 April 2012

By Enthusiastic reader - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

As a writer of various types of text, I found this book to be delightful. It has a wide selection of very relevant chapters, all of which contain succinct advice and commentary on different aspects of the writer's craft. The book is like a smorgasbord - you can eat from as many dishes as you like at one sitting and go up for seconds regularly. It's a great dip in and out of book.

Popular Highlights

(What's this?)

When we set out to write, we do not do so out of a sense of certainty but out of a kind of radical uncertainty. We do not set out saying: The world is like this. But asking: How is the world? &quote;

A story is just the stuff that happened; plot is the intrigue of how and why. &quote;

To construct a point of view, in other words, first you must establish what is not a matter of opinion, what is true. &quote;
