| Summary |
"During his lengthy writing career, Carlton Stowers has had his highs and lows, all the while learning more and more about his chosen craft. In STORYTELLER, he chronicles the pitfalls and prat falls, suggests how best to pitch a book or article to editors, the do's and don'ts of research and interviewing. While spinning a humorous story or two along the way, the author touches on the entire spectrum of writing for a living, producing what iconic university journalism professor David McHam calls "the best book on writing I've ever read.""-- Provided by publisher |
| Notes |
"It is a book about the crapshoot craft of writing as I have experienced it, a confession as much as a tutorial."--ECIP page 10 |
