Howmaster: THE WRITER'S GUIDE TO BEAUTIFUL WORD CRAFTING - Revised Edition (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781634919098)

HowMaster: The Writer's Guide to Beautiful Word Crafting shows how effective writing happens. Author Linda M. Gigliotti draws from years of practice as a private writing tutor in the guidebook that teaches writers how to format visceral writing that pulls readers into their book. She explains with instruction and samples of published works how to craft writing that come to life in the reader's mind.

Gigliotti starts with a section about setting up to write and goes on to discuss where and how to find ideas, how to write from prompts and journal entries, and the effective writing of the short story, article, and novel. Exercises follow each chapter. HowMaster ties up with a chapter on care of the scribe whose body mechanics must be maintained along with their creative spirit.

HowMaster is a wise choice for the writer who wants to weave words around the reader's heart.
