I'm a professional editor and writer, and have a few observations for writers and budding writers who want to learn to write like their own literary heroes.
Jeffrey A. Friedberg’s Secret Pillars of Writing: A Crash Course is a real find. It’s a down and dirty instant recipe for success for any writer.
For newbies, he lays out the cardinal rules for writing top-notch, heart-pounding novels. For experienced writers, he throws out one gem after another for how to make your writing fresh and exciting. One word of caution – don’t read this book without reading Friedberg’s newest suspense thriller “Lost Relic of the Gods.” It is an essential companion to the Secret Pillars of Writing. You’ll get to see everything he recommends in action.
Friedberg is especially adroit at handling how to write sharp dialogue, non-stop suspense, and gripping conflict.
I’ve read dozens of books on writing and this one takes the most important highlights of ALL of them and condenses them into one fast read. Essential for every writer’s library.
PS: this is the only Writer’s Guide that actually reads like a suspense thriller itself---with a bizarre Hannibal Lecter-like humor that makes easy reading!
