Customer Reviews
Very useful indeed
I'm glad I found this book, and I'm sure I will keep using it in the future. The author goes deep into the various aspects of making your novel better, not with generic tips but with specific questions to be answered, and fixes for the most common problems. One of my favourite texts about creative writing so far.
