Writing Advice

MANY GENRES ONE CRAFT
For all aspiring writers and seasoned pros, I would recommend this collection of articles and essays all about writing. My article is titled, Dumping the Info Dump. The book fosters the writing process in a way that focuses almost exclusively on writing the novel. Using a compilation of instructional articles penned by well-known authors affiliated with Seton Hill University's acclaimed MFA program in Writing Popular Fiction, the book emphasizes how to write genre novels and commercially appealing fiction. The articles are modeled after actual learning modules that have successfully taught students in the program how to reach a wider audience for over a decade.
