Just what we need… another writing book or two.
No, I’m serious. This may be just what we need.
Shown above are the two newest anthologies of writing mentoring, coaching and philosophical dissection and author interviews from Writers Digest Books, culled from their magazine and blog and a few excerpts from the titles they’ve previously published.
You may be interested to know that two of your humble KZ servant bloggers have entries in both of these volumes:
… James Scott Bell has two pieces in Writing Voice, and four in The Complete Handbook of Novel Writing (3rd edition);
…much less impressively, yours truly has one article in each book.
We hope these and the several dozen other entries in these two fine volumes will contribute to your writing journey.
(The links offered are to Amazon.com; both titles are also available through all major online venues and bookstores.)
Awesome! Checking them out now…
Thanks mentioning these, Brother Brooks. I love WD. They have been such a friend to writers — and writing instructors — for nearly (get this) one hundred years! These book compilations are a treasure trove, best used, I think, when you peruse the contents and find specific areas you know you need to work on. Then sample the other chapters at your leisure.
And don’t forget the highlighter and sticky notes!
Two more books to devour and add to my reference shelves. Thanks for the heads-up.
Congrats to you both!
I have multiple books from both these guys I can hardly read anymore for all the post-its and bookmarks and notepad strips sticking out. I guess that’s a good thing, because now that I’m expert at page-marking I can apply my notation system to two more!
