Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
The field of how-to-write books is crowded, but if you want to beef up your collection, this is a good choice. Author and editor Seidman writes about the practical aspects of the craft in a straightforward and clever way. As an editor, he is well versed in what publishing houses are looking for, and he is also familiar with the major stumbling blocks authors face when submitting work. Seidman's first section on writing includes many good hints and exercises for getting work into shape. Part 2, on networking, discusses writers' groups, conferences, and professional readers and how to use them. Part 3, "The Business of Publishing," is a guide to the business end of writing. The section on contract negotiation alone is worth the price of the book. Recommended for public libraries.ALisa J. Cihlar, Monroe P.L., WI
