Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: '1998 Novel & Short Story Writer's Market'Book summary:1998 Novel & Short Story Writer's Market is an essential reference for fiction writers who are ready to sell--or at least publish--their work. With this guide on hand, you have no excuses for blindly sending your pages off to whatever publisher's address you can find, regardless of your specialty or theirs. No longer will you staple a story for a staplephobic editor, or merely paperclip a story for one less organized. Book and magazine publishers (2,200 of them!) tell you how they want your pages attached, what types of paper they despise (onion skin gets an all-around thumbs down), and whether they like, or dislike, serifed type. In addition to the seemingly superficial but make-or-break nitty-gritty, this book offers a wealth of information from editors and writers of all stripes.
The greatest volume of thoughtful advice--beyond read, read, read; write, write, write; revise, revise, revise--comes from the editors of literary journals. "Restrain your prose but not your imagination" (Chasm). Emphasize "quality, intellect, grace and guts" (Kelsey Review). "If you haven't thought about every word, every piece of punctuation, don't send it" (The Lowell Pearl). "Stop trying to be clever--it insults the reader--if you're a clever writer, it will be reflected in the finished product" (Oatmeal & Poetry). Sue Grafton writes about using a journal as a "verbal repair shop," Isabel Allende talks about the "magic in storytelling," and four editors address issues of manuscript-submission etiquette. Also included is information on fiction-writing contests, conferences, organizations, and other resources. And, finally, a wise word (or 17) from the book's editor, Barbara Kuroff: "Take as much care searching for potential markets for your work as you have in crafting it." [via]

Clinging to the Wreckageby John MortimerISBN 0899191339 (0-89919-133-9)
Hardcover, Houghton Mifflin
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Clinging to the Wreckage'Book summary:"Clinging to the Wreckage" - the first part of John Mortimer's hilarious and moving autobiography. "A true masterpiece of the genre". ("The Times"). Here John Mortimer recounts his solitary childhood in the English countryside, with affectionate portraits of his remote parents - an increasingly unconventional barrister father, whose blindness must never be mentioned, battling earwigs in the mutinous garden, and a vague and endlessly patient mother. As a boy dreaming of a tap-dancing career on the stage and forming a one-boy communist cell at boarding school, his father pushes him to pursue the law, where Mortimer embarks on the career that was to inspire his hilarious and immortal literary creations. Told with great humour and touching honesty, this is a magnificent achievement by one of Britain's best-loved writers. It will delight readers of P.G. Wodehouse, Roald Dahl and fans of Rumpole. "Enchantingly witty ...should be held as the model for all autobiographies of our times". (Auberon Waugh). Sir John Mortimer was a barrister, playwright and novelist. His fictional trilogy about the inexorable rise of an ambitious Tory MP in the Thatcher years ("Paradise Postponed", "Titmuss Regained" and "The Sound of Trumpets") has recently been republished in "Penguin Classics", together with "Clinging to the Wreckage" and his play "A Voyage round My Father". His most famous creation was the barrister Horace Rumpole, who featured in four novels and around eighty short stories. His books in Penguin include: "The Anti-social Behaviour of Horace Rumpole"; "The Collected Stories of Rumpole"; "The First Rumpole Omnibus"; "Rumpole and the Angel of Death"; "Rumpole and the Penge Bungalow Murders"; "Rumpole and the Primrose Path"; "Rumpole and the Reign of Terror"; "Rumpole and the Younger Generation"; "Rumpole at Christmas"; "Rumpole Rests His Case"; "The Second Rumpole Omnibus"; "Forever Rumpole"; "In Other Words"; "Quite Honestly" and "Summer's Lease".

Fahrenheit 451by Ray BradburyISBN 089968484X (0-89968-484-X)
Hardcover, Buccaneer Books
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Fahrenheit 451'Book summary:In Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury's classic, frightening vision of the future, firemen don't put out fires--they start them in order to burn books. Bradbury's vividly painted society holds up the appearance of happiness as the highest goal--a place where trivial information is good, and knowledge and ideas are bad. Fire Captain Beatty explains it this way, "Give the people contests they win by remembering the words to more popular songs.... Don't give them slippery stuff like philosophy or sociology to tie things up with. That way lies melancholy."
Guy Montag is a book-burning fireman undergoing a crisis of faith. His wife spends all day with her television "family," imploring Montag to work harder so that they can afford a fourth TV wall. Their dull, empty life sharply contrasts with that of his next-door neighbor Clarisse, a young girl thrilled by the ideas in books, and more interested in what she can see in the world around her than in the mindless chatter of the tube. When Clarisse disappears mysteriously, Montag is moved to make some changes, and starts hiding books in his home. Eventually, his wife turns him in, and he must answer the call to burn his secret cache of books. After fleeing to avoid arrest, Montag winds up joining an outlaw band of scholars who keep the contents of books in their heads, waiting for the time society will once again need the wisdom of literature.
Bradbury--the author of more than 500 short stories, novels, plays, and poems, including The Martian Chronicles and The Illustrated Man--is the winner of many awards, including the Grand Master Award from the Science Fiction Writers of America. Readers ages 13 to 93 will be swept up in the harrowing suspense of Fahrenheit 451, and no doubt will join the hordes of Bradbury fans worldwide. --Neil Roseman [via]

Guerrilla Marketing for Writers: 100 Weapons for Selling Your Workby Michael Larsen, Jay Conrad Levinson, Rick FrishmanISBN 089879983X (0-89879-983-X)
Softcover, F & W Pubns
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Guerrilla Marketing for Writers: 100 Weapons for Selling Your Work'Book summary:There are writers who would be horrified at the tactics laid out in Guerrilla Marketing for Writers, perhaps because marketing oneself as one might a commodity is at odds with the artistic temperament. Alas, those writers are unlikely to find themselves at the helm of such publishing fleets as the Chicken Soup or, well, Guerrilla Marketing series.
HarperCollins publishes 1,200 books a year, according to the authors of Guerrilla Marketing for Writers. Is there a snowball's chance in hell that their publicity department can adequately promote all of them? Of course not. Don't let someone else's publicity department drop the ball when it comes to your book. Guerrilla Marketing's 100 weapons for selling your work range from creating media kits and promotional calendars to appearing at book-group discussions and fundraisers. Each "weapon" is rated by its monetary cost to the author, and well over half are free. While the authors advise that this book will help in the promotion of "any kind of book, from poetry to textbooks," most of its tactics seem best suited to nonfiction. The authors' overarching philosophy? Think like an entrepreneur. "Don't think like a writer who has something to say; think like an author who has a lifetime of books, products, and services to sell." --Jane Steinberg [via]

Guide to Literary Agents, 2000: 500 Agents Who Sell What You Writeby Donya DickersonISBN 0898799368 (0-89879-936-8)
Softcover, F & W Pubns
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Guide to Literary Agents, 2000: 500 Agents Who Sell What You Write'Book summary:Success in publishing, as in many other fields, depends primarily on who you know. Whatever you can do to foster connections--attend writers conferences, take workshops, haunt book signings--increases your chances of a referral, or even an introduction. It is those very connections that are most likely to lead a writer to an agent and even a publisher. But there are enough stories each year of writers who have garnered representation without any connections at all to prove that it can be done.
There are those agents who prefer not to be listed in this guide at all; others are listed but insist that they are not seeking new clients. But the majority of the 550 agencies (representing books and scripts) included here are at least somewhat open to taking on new writers. This year's listings, in addition to the basics, include symbols denoting an agency's interest level in new clients; also, a "reading list" section has been added in which individual agents may disclose the periodicals they scout for new talent. With listings such as these, no author should feel as if she is blindly submitting her work. Sure, trying to find an agent can feel like an act of desperation--especially when one realizes that securing representation is just the first step. But no author should have to feel, as did Ann Darby (The Orphan Game), that looking for an agent makes her feel "like a young woman from an earlier century who was determined to get married, and it didn't matter whom the suitor was as long as she got married."
Agents, like writers, are individuals. No two are seeking exactly the same thing in a client. But they seem to be more or less in agreement on one thing: "No bribes necessary," says agent Sebastian Gibson, "just brilliant writing." --Jane Steinberg [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'John Brown's Body'Book summary:One of the most widely read poems of our time, John Browns Body is Stephen Vincent Benéts masterful retelling of the Civil War. A book of great energy and sweep, it swings into view the entire course of that terrible and decisive war, lighting up the lives of soldiers, leaders, and civilians, North and South, amidst the conflict. Generations of readers have found the book a compelling and moving experience.
"Magnificently readable."New Statesman.
"It is not one of your tours de forces of intellect and technique, to be admired and then tucked away on the library shelf. It is a library of storytelling itself, a poem extraordinarily rich in action as well as actors, vivid, varied, and so expressive of many men and moods that prose could never have carried its electric burden."Saturday Review.
"A remarkable piece of imaginative reporting; and one in which not only the forces which make history are embodied in the speech and action of very diverse men and women but the ideas also of which these forces were the driving power."London Times Literary Supplement.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Princess Bride'Book summary:The Princess Bride is a true fantasy classic. William Goldman describes it as a "good parts version" of "S. Morgenstern's Classic Tale of True Love and High Adventure." Morgenstern's original was filled with details of Florinese history, court etiquette, and Mrs. Morgenstern's mostly complimentary views of the text. Much admired by academics, the "Classic Tale" nonetheless obscured what Mr. Goldman feels is a story that has everything: "Fencing. Fighting. Torture. Poison. True love. Hate. Revenge. Giants. Hunters. Bad men. Good men. Beautifulest ladies. Snakes. Spiders. Beasts of all natures and descriptions. Pain. Death. Brave men. Coward men. Strongest men. Chases. Escapes. Lies. Truths. Passion. Miracles."
Goldman frames the fairy tale with an "autobiographical" story: his father, who came from Florin, abridged the book as he read it to his son. Now, Goldman is publishing an abridged version, interspersed with comments on the parts he cut out.
Is The Princess Bride a critique of classics like Ivanhoe and The Three Musketeers, that smother a ripping yarn under elaborate prose? A wry look at the differences between fairy tales and real life? Simply a funny, frenetic adventure? No matter how you read it, you'll put it on your "keeper" shelf. --Nona Vero [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Scene and Structure'Book summary:Craft your fiction with scene-by-scene flow, logic and readability.
An imprisoned man receives an unexpected caller, after which everything changed..."
And the reader is hooked. But whether or not readers will stay on for the entire wild ride will depend on how well the writer structures the story, scene by scene.
This book is your game plan for success. Using dozens of examples from his own work - including Dropshot, Tiebreaker and other popular novels - Jack M. Bickham will guide you in building a sturdy framework for your novel, whatever its form or length. You'll learn how to:
- "worry" your readers into following your story to the end
- prolong your main character's struggle while moving the story ahead
- juggle cause and effect to serve your story action
- believable fiction must make more sense than real life
- every scene should end in disaster
- some scenes should be condensed, and others built big
