Arthur Frank has been the leader of writers groups for about eight years and has taught fiction writing at the collegiate level for several years. He is a member of Mystery Writers of America. He used to be in the consumer magazine business after leaving a corporate career in labor relations behind. He has seen any number of aspiring writers struggle incredibly trying to carve out a career in the literary world.
He struggled with many of these concerns himself, finding out that the literary world is so far away from the magazine business that it might as well be on Jupiter. He has offered all kinds of advice to new writers for many years, but never wrote them down except for lesson plans. He writes fiction and a “how to” book is non fiction, which is also in a completely different world.
This book is an effort to cushion the hard knocks that most writers experience along the way and cause many talented people to simply give up. It is intentionally priced at about as much as a cup of coffee, and intentionally kept short to clear a lot the jetsam away from the path to a literary career. Good things do come in small packages after all.
