Telling Lies for Fun & Profit: A Manual for Fiction Writers Audiobook

" This collection of columns from Block's stint with Writer's Digest has something relevant for every type of writing and every writing issue. You can open it randomly to any page and find something useful and inspirational. Grab it when you can because it goes out of print frequently. "

" Awesome book. Love the writer's prayer at the end! Strangely comforting. "

" Every question ever asked, or topic requested during the #storycraft tweetchat is answered in this book. Anyone serious about writing, for publication or not, should read this book! "

" My go-to book for writing as both a craft and as an art form. Highly recommended for all writers of all genres. "

" I loved this. It made me want to write, which I guess is its purpose! It's slightly anachronistic (the references to 'sitting at the typewriter' threw me a bit!) but its heart is there. I may read this every few months to keep the fire alive. "

" A collection of wide-ranging articles about the craft of writing. Block presents his ideas in a down-to-earth, humorous way. I felt that even though this book predates the digital age, it was of more practical value than most others on the same topic. "

" Eines der besseren Bücher mit Schreibtipps. Unterhaltsam und interessant. "

" Really excellent book on fiction writing. I was already doing some of the things he wrote about without realizing it. I once attended a workshop he did in San Francisco. Really nice man. And I actually have sold some of my fiction. "

" This is a fantastic book on writing structure and style, but it's also just a really good read, Block is funny and breezy and entertaining. Probably my favorite book on writing that I read back when I was trying to hone my craft a little for the purposes of reviewing and casual writing. "

" Block really tells it straightforward and clearly as he sees it. I agreed with the vast majority of what he said, and the parts I didn't agree with are probably why I don't sell nearly as much of my fiction. A new writer would do well to read it. "

" sort of rambling- but an interesting look into Lawrence Block; his history, how he thinks and how he writes. Along with Ed McBain and Clive Cussler, Block is one of my favorites. "
