Review
“Sawyer’s analysis of the craft and observations on the process are not only true, they’re universal. If you use only half of what’s in this book, your writing will be twice as good!” —John Wirth, screenwriter and executive producer, The District
“Exceptional, and not just for those who’ve thought about writing a novel. Concise, authoritative, a refresher course in basics. Masterful!” —Robert S. Levinson, author, The John Lennon Affair and The James Dean Affair
