The Fiction Writer’s Handbook is the definitive volume to explain the words and phrases that writers and editors use when they talk about a work. In the highly competitive publishing world, today’s writers need to stay ahead of the competition and make every sentence count. This book will help new writers who need an understanding of the writing process, and for seasoned writers, it is a powerful tool. This handbook has been collected into this definitive volume by professor Shelly Lowenkopf who taught at the University of Southern California's Master of Professional Writing program for over thirty years. "Knowing how editors choose one work over so many others would give any writer an advantage. To that end, Lowenkopf, a longtime writer, editor, and educator, delivers the fiction-writing guide he has always longed for--one that can be applied to the practical goal of every aspiring writer: getting published... VERDICT An invaluable insider's take on what editors look for when sifting through the slush pile." --Henrietta Thornton-Verma, Library Journal |
