Excellent Collection of Essays for the Horror WriterThis is an excellent collection of essays by Horror writers for Horror writers. The topics covered include style, setting, finding your voice, and more. Even non-Horror writers will get something useful out of this collection. I highly recommend this for all aspiring and new Horror authors.
Unnerving Magazine ReviewThere seems to be endless how-to essays and books on writing. I’ve read a handful and numerous blog posts, much of the time these read like reheated supper. This had some reheated supper, sure, but, like lasagna, sometimes the re-issuing of a dish has more impact than the first run.From the initial book of this omnibus –and by far the strongest and most generally insightful portion– it proves a valuable expenditure of time. Often, horror related essays on writing touchba...
Review: WRITERS ON WRITING OMNIBUS VOL. 1-4By Various AuthorsAlthough I am not a published author, I have been a widely voracious reader for six decades, and a sometime writer. I adore reading books on the writing process. Doing so, I think, improves my reading capacity and draws me closer in understanding to authors. I'm delighted to review Crystal Lake Publishing's new WRITERS ON WRITING OMNIBUS, a compact collection of advice and how-to, provided by authors and editors who are familiar with t...
Have you ever thought about being a writer? There are lots of places where you can go to get advice on writing. You could take classes, buy books on the subject or find websites dedicated to the craft of writing. With all the different places to go for information, it may be hard to find what works best. That being said, the best place to go for advice is to authors that have already been published. Writers on Writing Volume 1 - 4 Omnibus: An Author's Guide from Crystal Lake Publishing is a grea...
3.5 rounded to 4 stars.
Wow- the best collection of writing advice I have ever read. This wasn't your average 'do this, do that, overcome writer's block, make time to write, blah, blah, heard it a million times before' advice.No, this is a collection of real, unique and entirely useful advice that you will actually use - written by authors and editors who have been there- they talk about self-editing, proofreading, formatting, self-publishing, traditional publishing and so much more.If you are a writer you NEED this bo...
This is the first review of a non-fiction work that I’ve written so please forgive me if I stumble a bit. I’m used to talking about plot and character and setting and that sort of thing so, as you can see, this is uncharted territory. That said, I do read a lot of books like this. And what I inevitably find is that the work is often mediocre to terrible. There are a ton of books out there written by “authors” who don’t seem to have written anything but writing instruction manuals and not only do...
I was sent a copy of this book by Crystal Lake Publishing for review purposes and, initially, I thought it would be a set of essays repeating the same usual advice lines for writing your first book, overcoming writer’s block etc. So I didn’t have any great expectations. How wrong could I have been? Joe Mynhardt has put together an extremely readable and inspiring set of articles from a range of different authors, most of which have a slant towards what we might call ‘Dark Fiction’. In this respe...
