Synopsis

"Should I tell you how wise, entertaining, useful, funny, insightful, and all-around worthwhile this is? Nah, you’ll feel better if you find out yourself."—Donald Westlake, author of Put a Lid On It

If youÂ’re a writer, youÂ’ll find practical and compassionate advice in this wryly-told chronicle of the writerÂ’s life, including:

  • How to get the most out of writing classes and workshops
  • Overcoming writerÂ’s block
  • Editorial highlights and publishing pitfalls—from commas to contracts
  • Answers to the most pressing questions about authorship and the life of a writer

The Elements of Authorship (formerly published as Honk if You’re a Writer) contains expert advice woven with episodes from bestselling author Arthur Plotnik’s own travails. Plotnik’s rise from the literary “black lagoon” will amuse every struggling wordsmith. An appendix—"The Writer’s Pocket Advisor"—describes scores of opportunities and connections for writers found in no other guide.

Arthur Plotnik is a versatile author whose works include the classics The Elements of Editing. Reviewers have consistently praised PlotnikÂ’s writing for its accuracy, style, and wit, often ranking it with Strunk & White in practicality.


“This is a book for aspiring writers that has few equals”—Chicago Tribune
