Highly recommended!,

This review is from: Fiction Writer's Guidebook (Paperback)
Fantastic book! Edwin Silberstang offers a lot of helpful and useful tips and advice, including his own personal experiences, and encourages writers not to give up, no matter how many brick walls they encounter. I, too, have returned to my dream of writing and have read tons of so-called guidebooks. This one is the best of the best. He puts out the finest work he can and doesn't let anyone, including publishers or editors, take the wind out of his sails. He has a tendency to be a bit self-righteous, but then hey, he's been published and I have yet to be.

The Fiction Writer's Guidebook,
By Been There (Ca USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fiction Writer's Guidebook (Paperback)
The first half of the book is essentially a biographical account of the author's entry into the world of fiction writing, and his experiences in the trade. While this section of the book is not an instructive piece on writing, there are many insights to gain from the author's down to earth discussion of his own experiences. The second half of the book covers the usual topics regarding the craft of fiction, but in a very readable and direct way. Silberstang cuts through the reems of often confusing material in such craft books by concentrating on the salient points and driving them home. Overall, a very interesting and helpful book for any writer at any stage.

Great Book for Serious Writers,

This review is from: Fiction Writer's Guidebook (Paperback)
Silberstang does an exellent job not only narrating his own personal journey through writing books, but giving the reader that extra push needed to get from story idea to published novel. His tips are straight to the point, and examples, well explained. This is a first-rate guide for any serious writer seeking advice from a published author.
