Techniques of the Selling Writer provides solid instruction for people who want to write and sell fiction, not just to talk and study about it. It gives the background, insights, and specific procedures needed by all beginning writers. Here one can learn how to group words into copy that moves, movement into scenes, and scenes into stories; how to develop characters, how to revise and polish, and finally, how to sell the product. No one can teach talent, but the practical skills of the professional writer's craft can certainly be taught. The correct and imaginative use of these kills can shorten any beginner's apprenticeship by years. This is the book for writers who want to turn rejection slips into cashable checks.

'Into The Woods' is a revelation of the fundamental structure and meaning of all stories from the man responsible for more hours of drama on British television than anyone else, John Yorke. We all love stories. Many of us love to tell them, and even dream of making a living from them. But what is a story? Hundreds of books about screenwriting and storytelling have been written, but none of them ask 'Why?' Why do we tell stories? And why do all stories function in an eerily similar way?

Hundreds of books have been written on the art of writing. Here at last is a book by two professional editors to teach writers the techniques of the editing trade that turn promising manuscripts into published novels and short stories. In this completely revised and updated second edition, Renni Browne and Dave King teach you, the writer, how to apply the editing techniques they have developed to your own work. Chapters on dialogue, exposition, point of view, interior monologue, and other techniques take you through the same processes an expert editor would go through to perfect your manuscript. Each point is illustrated with examples, many drawn from the hundreds of books Browne and King have edited.

Forget for a moment the prevailing notion that you can only manage your anxiety through endless visits to your therapist's office and daily cocktails of psychiatric medication - what if you could put yourself back in the equation?What if you could learn to manage your fear better by changing your thoughts and beliefs about it? What if you could turn down the firehose of overwhelm you experience so often? You can.More than 17% of Americans fill at least one psychiatric drug prescription each year. This would be just fine if medication were actually solving mental illness, but it seems that's not the case. Medication is just one potential piece of the puzzle; we can't keep discounting our ability to influence our own conditions.Through the latest research, personal anecdotes, and a heavy dose of practicality, this book discusses that influence and teaches you:-Where anxiety comes from and how to stop perpetuating it-10 crucial steps for mitigating anxiety during stressful situations-How to leverage fear into a vehicle for personal growth-How to stop fighting yourself and start living again
