Review:"Here is another manual for writers by a fiction instructor and published author who has given serious thought to the vocation....Those who appreciate the honest reflections of a practicing and thoughtful writer will value the opportunity to listen in." Herbert E. Shapiro, Library Journal Review:"The most useful, reliable writer's guide imaginable. Rogers's thoughtful chapters explain every kind of psychological pitfallknown to the working writer, whether beginner or pro. His counsel is always sensible and wise, and he knows how to solve the problems of a working writer's life. This is a remarkable book." Peter Straub, author of Magic Terror and Mr. X.
