5.0
Such a useful resource for writers. As an experienced editor, Tate brings down-to-earth insights to her reviews of a comprehensive selection of books for writers. Each short chapter gives a summary of a writing craft book, along with her suggestions of where its advice fits in a writer’s process and how it will (or might not!) help. Any writer who doesn’t know where to start with all the how-to-write books out there would do well to start with this one. It’s also a handy index of resources for a writer at any stage.
