Publisher Description

The craft of writing offers countless potential problems: The story is too long; the story's too short; revising presents a huge hurdle; writer's block is rearing its ugly head. In HELP! FOR WRITERS, Roy Peter Clark presents an "owner's manual" for writers, outlining the seven steps of the writing process, and addressing the 21 most urgent problems that writers face. In his trademark engaging and entertaining style, Clark offers ten short solutions to each problem. Out of ideas? Read posters, billboards, and graffiti. Can't bear to edit yourself? Watch the deleted scenes feature of a DVD, and ask yourself why those scenes were left on the cutting-room floor. HELP! FOR WRITERS offers 210 strategies to guide writers to success.

    " Nothing ground breaking. It focuses mainly on nonfiction writing; however, it does cover some useful tips for fiction writing. "

    " Meh. Whatever. Offers obvious advice and suggestions. I got bored, starting skipping around and finally returned to the book I'm writing. It'll be a classic, it'll sell more copies than the Bible and will make me immortal. I kid. Seriously, though, there are better writing guides out there. "

    " Interesting combination of his first two books. Certainly more in depth and easily understand, I can't wait for the next book he is working on. "

    " Some useful tips in here, but a lot of repetition. Also, the author seems to have tried to cater for all kinds of readers across the book, but ended up with many of the tips that are relevant only to certain specific types of writer. "

  • Overall Performance: 4 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 54 out of 5

    " Every writer who takes his/her work seriously needs this book. Some repetitive components with "Writing Tools" and "Glamour of Grammar," but that's a small criticism. Go get Help! "
