5.0 out of 5 stars
An Excellent How-to,
By Ivan Tritch tritch1@fastdata.net (Bono, Arkansas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Writing Popular Fiction (Hardcover)
This is the perfect book for aspiring writers. Although some of the material is outdated, Koontz covers writing in different genres, including sci-fi, suspense, westerns, gothic, and erotica. He also motivates the reader by laying out his writing methods and emphasises the discipline it takes to succeed as a writer.

Early Koontz gives great tips,

This review is from: Writing Popular Fiction (Hardcover)
This book was first published in 1972, Early in Dean Koontz's career. The book reviews the basic ingredients and elements of the following genres:Science fictio and fantasy Suspense Mysteries Gothic-romance Westerns Erotica It's a practical book giving insights and advice. Really now, how many writers, early in their careers, wrote a book on how to write and then proved they could become massively successful? This is a pricey book you'll need to find used. Look for a reading copy that is not collectible because it has been well worn or discharged from a library. I don't understand why Writer's Digest hasn't re-issued this. I wish I could get Koontz to attend the StoryCon meeting on the Art, science and Application of story, which I organize. |
