Begun in 1993 and taking place over the Labor Day weekend, The Maui Writers Conference is a well respected annual conclave in which writers and publishing industry professionals meet together to enhance their skills and understandings of the writing process. Word By Word: An Inspirational Look At The Craft Of Writing is drawn from conference participants and is a compilation of transcribed presentations made during the first six years of the event. Such luminaries as Richard Paul Evans, Terry Brooks, Ernest J. Gaines, Elizabeth George, Julie Garwood, David Guterson, Mitch Albom, Tony Hillerman, Ron Howard, Susan Isaacs, Barry Kemp, Ridley Pearson, Nicholas Sparks, Dave Berry and many others offer their wit, wisdom and experience in all phases of writing and publishing. Word By Word is an informative, occasionally inspiring, always practical "how to" anthology that is very highly recommended to writers of fiction, nonfiction, film and television scripts, and anyone who has ever wanted to set pen to paper and effectively record their ideas and stories for posterity.
The Best of the Best from Elmore Leonard to Ron Howard
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
If you can't make it to the Maui Writers conference (the Cannes of the literary world), here's the creme de la creme distilled into one book; if you're a writer, make this your new journal. From Elmore Leonard to Ron Howard to dozens of top names in fiction, non-fiction, screenwriting, the reader gets behind the art, the science and the magic of craft from masters. Explored in quick, easy to relate-to chapters by author, this book is inspiration for the pocket or bedside table -- read one piece each night before you dream, authors. A new must for any serious writer today.
