(pb; 2008: nonfiction)
From the back cover
“David Morrell, bestselling author of First Blood, The Brotherhood of the Rose and The Fifth Profession, distlls four decades of writing experience and publishing experience into this single masterwork of advice and instruction for fiction writers looking to make it big in the publishing world.
“With advice proven to create
successful novels, Morrell teaches you everything you need to know about: Plot,
Character, Research, Structure, Viewpoint, Description, Dialogue, The business
of publishing, and much more.”
Review
Successful is one of the best books I’ve read on novel writing, branding one’s work, juggling life and work, and the financial end of one’s work after it’s reached a multimedia platform-level. Whether or not your writing habits and notions gel with Morrell’s, Successful is a worthwhile (and excellent) read for the author’s hard-won common sense/dealing-with-rights-and-finances. Great writer’s resource book, one of my all-time favorites in the business-of-writing genre.
