Title: Perfect for the new fiction writer!
Review: Mooring Against the Tide gives people wishing to improve their writing abilities a wonderful workshop style platform to work from. Read the layout above to see the areas which the book attacks. I found this to be one of the few "How to Write" books that I couldn't put down. I didn't think it was possible to grab a reader quite so well in an instructional book like that.The book takes student's writing and dissects it. It goes through step by step. First you read the student's story, then it is edited with side notes and such, and lastly the author gives us his final edited version. Mooring's authors then go on to talk about the piece and its improvements.It also covers poetry as shown above. I have nearly a shelf of "How to Write" books that are read part way through. When I'm writing, this one never leaves my side. Great book!
