The blurb (from Amazon)
The Fiction Writer's Handbook is the definitive volume to explain the words and phrases that writers and editors use when they talk about a work. In the highly competitive publishing world, today's writers need to stay ahead of the competition and make every sentence count. This book will help new writers who need an understanding of the writing process, and for seasoned writers, it is a powerful tool.
The first sentence in the Preface reads... The Fiction Writer's Handbook is a tool for writers of fiction and for readers who love a story.
I was not sure how easy it would be to navigate a reference e-book. I should not have worried as this book has a table of contents which is fully linked to each entry, plus there are links within the text which are underlined and easy to follow.
As a reader/reviewer I found that this comprehensive volume made for very interesting reading. Of course I have not read and digested the whole book, yet. This will be a valuable reference book to help enrich my reading by understanding the structure and process of writing a short story or novel.
Aimed at new writers and readers I understand that it would be useful to more experienced writers, too.
