Good authors are not born, they need to be nurtured, just like a child. I should know since I’ve written items for a community newspaper. When I started the writing had been extremely drab, and 11 years later, when I wrote my last, my writing had become somewhat dynamic in the words I should to use. I didn’t worry about grammar and the like since a good friend had been doing the proofreading.
But, that writing had been non-fiction; but since I’m into writing romance these days, there’s a lot more intricacies in the linguistics one has to use in doing it well; some of which I’ve already learned, with rest being an ever-on-going educational process.
I found this book cuts to the chase and gets to the real meat of writing, and writing well; without the need to remember the superficial jargon which other books of this type include. Ms. Kent takes her readers by the hand and teaches them the indispensable methods needed to edit a rough manuscript into a delightfully readable book. You don’t need to know what a dangling participle by its name, and other such grammar terminology is concerned, as long as you know how to recognize them; as this author explains everything in a concise, easily understood and forthright manner.
For her willingness to share her extensive knowledge and experience in this area with all aspiring authors; I’m glad to give Ms. Kent the 5 STARS she’s gotten from this reviewer. (
