5.0 out of 5 stars There, what more could you want?, 4 May 1998
By A Customer
I read this book in it's previous edition, years ago, and I found it most inspiring. All you have to do is remember that it's written from an editor's point of view. Read it, and use what you can. Personally, I got a lot of good advice for working habits, characterization and plots.

And it's not as boring as many other technical books. the language is flowing and full of humor. I strongly recommend it.

While it's far from being exhaustive in content, it does give you a good picture of all aspects of writing including the pros and cons of agents, how to write a great query letter, how to build a go-for-the-throat beginning, and how to create a leave-them-speechless ending. Don't miss the chapter: "Stuffing the Hollow Man" - an incr
