Editorials

From Barnes & Noble

James V. Smith Jr.'s helpful little primer on good writing doesn't beat around the bush. Eschewing complexity, Smith gets right to the point: "My advice is to write the climax of the novel first." "Avoid flashbacks at all costs until you get famous." With a winning directness, he teaches you to organize your work, construct effective sentences, and create compelling characters.
