Title: Nuggets of Writing Wisdom
Review: I combed through just about every book on writing, searching for writing truths, myths, and the publishing industry. When I came to this book, it spoke to me like no other book has; I could not put it down. Sol Stein has expertly written a book that is not only informative, but superbly entertaining. He engages the reader by writing a nonfiction book in a storytelling manner.From the first page, he shares many secrets of the writing trade, using his own experiences as well as other writers' works. I particularly like the examples he gave, and the theatrical angle. For example, he includes Elia Kazan's theatrical presence and advice, and thus enriches the story and the reader's imagination.As an author searching to perfect my craft, I have already begun incorporating some of his sage advice on writing. I hope he keeps writing more books on this topic!
