Amazon.com Review
Here's another practical, no-nonsense book from the equally no-nonsense people at The Writer, Inc. A slim volume of essays from pros who write, place, and sell articles--on everything from book reviews to travel writing, op ed, true crime, science, and more. Handiest for novices, perhaps--much of the information, while valuable, is basic. Also note, there's no market information here, no editor addresses or phone numbers, just some nuts-and-bolts on the how-to side. But that information has a place in your tool kit, too.
