Publisher Description
Theodore Sturgeon called THE BUSINESS OF BEING A WRITER "the second best reference book a writer can have,after the dictionary." Harlan Ellison said, "It may not make you a better writer, but it will keep you from being a poorer one." Isaac Asimov said, "Read [this book]. It will tell you everything clearly and interrestingly."
Published in 1982, before the widespread use of personal computers, the Internet, and electronic publishing, the book concentrated on writing and selling to the print media--books and magazines. Updated excerpts are now being reprinted on various topics--still focused on those primary areas, but still applicable to the current-day writer.
This excerpt discusses finances, work habits, pen names, and other points a writer should consider seriously before starting a career in writing.
Customer Reviews
This book is just a 59p sample book
I thought this book was a bargain at 59p. Turns to be only 25 pages of common sense advice to begin with, near the end it gets interesting and then it finishes. Then the book points out that this is an excerpt from another book about writing.
