I received this e-arc copy from Writer’s Digest Books for an honest review, thank you!
This book is focused on American audience, but I think it’s worth to read anyone who want to write short or long stories, this book is perfect, because it involves to work and practice on one’s writing style, shape it and answer the questions that bugs you – where to start and what’s the protocol and how things are working from that point, questions that make one to write better.
I was recently given a book for an honest review by author, and it lacked basic punctuation, this is the book that gives the guidance even in this topic, because a writer can’t just blame the “editor” for not correcting the mistakes, the author has to write including the punctuation, the editor can correct but you want to polish your work to it’s best until you choose to show it to someone who will review it. It also gives the knowledge of literature genres and how to develop ideas on creating the topics for your story. The author has given examples of short stories, guiding the reader into knowledge.
Writing and Selling book is giving the guidance how to apply to magazines and submit your written work to online publications and publishers as well. It’s worth a read for everyone who wants to succeed, being spotted from the crowd. I think it is great, maybe you didn’t study literature and aren’t aware of the basics….and you have always wanted to write, this is for you!
