I would have to say that this book should be a must for all aspiring authors. Even, dare I say, to many established authors who make many of the mistakes that this book talks about.

The only practical guide to the craft of writing that is both inspiring and essential.

Specific, pertinent, entertaining advice from two real pros. I recommend it highly.

My students–including the published novelists–ought to read Self-Editing for Fiction Writers once a year, the Show and Tell chapter even more often.

An entire book on improving what you’ve written is Self-Editing for Fiction Writers, which comes from professional editors who know their stuff.

A superb tutorial for anyone wanting to learn from pros how to polish fiction writing with panache.
