Essays, selected from the first seventy-five years of Writer's Digest magazine, cover style, genre, dialogue, plot, research, organization, and endings
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
To mark the 75th anniversary of Writer's Digest magazine, the editors have culled 50 of the more instructive pieces from their previous issues. You've heard it all before, but these writing tips are from authors (Irving Wallace, Joyce Carol Oates, Isaac Asimov, Stephen King--the list goes on) who have proven repeatedly that their methods work. Not surprisingly, the advice (know your audience, write what you know, read back issues of magazines) given is still applicable regardless of its age yet sounds remarkably fresh, proving that elements of good writing are classic. Articles include pointers on crafting fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and plays as well as some career advice. The index was not seen, but with its addition this compilation should be a helpful tool in any library's writing collection.
