title: Rejection, Romance and Royalties: The Wacky World of a Working Writer
author:  Laura Resnick 
description: Writing is a tough business, and no one knows this better than Resnick, an award-winning author of 20 romance and fantasy novels and dozens of short stories. Working with four different agents, dozens of editors, and numerous publishers over the last two decades taught Resnick a lot about the business of writing. Now, with this eclectic and entertaining collection of essays, Resnick shares both her own and other writers' experiences in getting and staying published. From the role talent, passion, and luck play in a writer's life to dealing with difficult editors and publishers, Resnick doesn't pull any punches, but her hard-won, practical advice will inspire both aspiring and published writers as it helps them navigate the always choppy waters of the publishing world. Charles, John
