Product Description

"Check any bookstore and you'll find a host of titles on writing. Some are good, some not so good. Every author has his or her own strengths and weaknesses. But in Brewing Fine Fiction; Advice For Writers From the Bookview Café, you get a smorgasbord of professional advice and expertise. From the plausibility of fantasy, by Ursula LeGuin, to Deborah Ross's comments on reviews, you'll find every facet of the craft and writing life covered. For the wealth of information, experience, and diversity, all under one cover, you can't beat it."

— Mary Rosenblum, Longridge Writers Group Instructor

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Writing Advice, September 8, 2010
This review is from: Brewing Fine Fiction (Kindle Edition)
The authors at Book View Café (such as Ursula K. LeGuin and Gerald M. Weinberg) have written essays to advise newer writers. These essays have been compiled in this book. The advice is directed to writers of fantasy and science fiction, although any writer could find good counsel here.

The book covers every part of the writing craft...from finding the time to write, writing clearly, research, editing, writer's workshops, agent or no agent, going to conventions, dealing with rejection, etc.

I appreciated the blunt truths presented about being a bestselling author. Many writers dream of becoming rich and famous through their craft, but are they willing to pay the heavy price? Is it realistic to expect to support a family by writing?

I would recommend this book to any writer of fantasy or science fiction.

I received this book through LibraryThing's Early Reviewers program. I requested this book because, while I do not write fantasy and science fiction, I enjoy writing and I enjoy books about the writing process.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Advice Here, August 5, 2010
This review is from: Brewing Fine Fiction (Kindle Edition)
A fantastic compilation of writing advice. Really useful and fun to read, even if you're not going to write. Gives interesting insights into how writing works and what it's like to be a writer, too. And not just fantasy and science fiction--all types.
