I bought the book with expectation to see the basics of writing, but it wasn't helpful. I could relate with the few introductory articles on some aspects of writing, but they would hardly be a guide to an aspiring writer. It was just a collection of contacts about literary institutions, awards, publishing opportunities, and the like.
