Review:Buy this book!

There are hundreds, maybe thousands of books for writers. I know, because I've been persuaded to buy many of them. This might be the only one you need.

Rachel draws on her own personal writing experience, shares how she struggled, and then provides step by step directions on what she did to improve.

Review:Of all the writers who write books for writers, James Scott Bell is up there in the Top 5. He's clear, concise and consistent. He delivers on exactly what he says, all in an easy-to-read style and actually provides solid, helpful and relevant advice for other writers. I have several of his books and this one is as good as all the others. In a market that is cluttered with How To books for writers, give most of them a miss and take this experienced writer's advice - it will be well worth it! Read more

Review:I bought the eBook version of this for school. The product description says it's compatible with Kindle for PC, but it never downloads, and I can't read it on my computer.

This is very strange, as I've downloaded three free eBooks from Amazon, and have no problems accessing them.

As far as the difference between MLA 7th and 8th editions is concerned, I can't speak to that. My pro... Read more

Review:It should practically be monitored like the Anarchist Cookbook. Phenomenal read for the budding environmentalist though, really puts things in perspective. Personally I loved the bits about burning down billboards. I suppose this book push your brain a little closer to the fringe, but you'll be better for it. I promise. Read more

A simple, easy-to-understand guide to help anyone start the daunting task of turning a blank page into their first screen play.
