Mother Miller's How to Write Good Book

by Sasha Miller, Andre Norton (Introduction)

MOTHER MILLER'S HOW TO WRITE GOOD BOOK is a writing guide that doesn't take itself too seriously, but even so, it is full of advice that the would-be writer of prose, and particularly of fiction, would do well to heed. Put this concise guide on a shelf close to your desk, in between THE ELEMENTS OF STYLE and your favorite dictionary. You'll reach for it often. Written with wit and humor, MMHTWGB (this book is best known by its initials) covers everything from plotting to character development to grammar to manuscript style. Sasha Miller writes with the sharp, witty, acerbic, and yet gentle style that has made her the bane and the delight of hundreds of writing students.
