This review is from: Fiction Writer's Companion: A Concise Collection of Notes on Technique (Paperback)
I think everyone else has said it: It's good. Nuff said. But I can't help myself -- This is a great little number that bullet-points the 'TO DOs' and 'NOT TO DOs' for writers who have already read a million-and-one books on How-To; this book is a great thumb-through to refresh that faulty old memory. I keep it at my fingertips!
