Description

-- Ernest Hemingway's attitude toward punctuation. -- Tom Clancy on the fact that he had never been in a submarine before writing The Hunt for Red October. -- Gay Talese's commitment to reporting. -- Thomas Jefferson on the value of using fewer words. These are just a few of the gems that you will find in this jewelry box of information, ideas, and instruction on writing and the writing life. Jim Stovall taught writing for more than 40 years and is the author of the top-selling Writing for the Mass Media, as well as a number of textbooks, non-fiction books and novels. He has put together this marvelous collection of wisdom from his own writings as well as drawing together quotations, anecdotes, and ideas from some of the greatest writers in the English language. Stovall has also included many of his own delightful illustrations. All of this will keep you returning to this book again and again. And there's a bonus: The book includes the first chapter of Stovall's mystery novel, Kill the Quarterback. Download this volume today, and then watch for volume 2.
