Summary of this Book... | ||
From the introduction: "This book arises out of twenty-five years' experience teaching creative writing courses, most of which were centered on fiction. Over that time, it has become apparent that workshop members are increasingly less certain about basic elements of English grammar and usage and about the peculiarities that arise when the prose they are writing is creative rather than critical." | ||
This type of Book is good for... | ||
all creative writers! | ||
I especially liked... | ||
the ease of reading the technical aspects of writing. Leland's novel writing background is apparent, showing great clarity of thought. He knows what creative writers need to know. | ||
The author of this Book... | ||
is a novelist and professor of English and Creative Writing. | ||
I recommend this Book because... | ||
many writers do not have a good grasp of the English language rules. Producing good quality work, including punctuation, is more likely to attract the eye of editors. A wonderful story is pointless if it's hard to read. | ||
