Review Quotes
""Fiction Writer's Handbook is wise and comprehensive, and surprisingly full of touches of lore." -- from the preface by Norman Mailer "It will be surprising if "Fiction Writer's Handbook" fails to launch a thousand novels and a multitude of short stories . . . it is that kind of book for writers already published and writers waiting to be published--inspiring, instructive and invaluable." -- Erskine Caldwell
