Title: So-so...
Review: This book could do with a thorough revision. Much of it is heavily dated.There are a few really good essays, especially the ones on how to research and organize your research. Those essays are invaluable. I also appreciate the suggestions on whose romances to read to see the craft of writing in action. These lists too need updating so we can look for books that reflect today's market.But most of the essays on writing frustrated me. The authors only state what to do and rarely give much explanation on HOW to do it. The essays are much too short and not at all comprehensive. They're certainly interesting as a look at what authors say they do in writing romances, but not very instructive in teaching others how to do it.If Ms. Falk revises this book, I would strongly suggest asking the authors to revise their essays to include more description of how-to mechanics.
