Book summary

Gardner evokes the reality of the life of a working novelist in this opinionated, witty, and useful book that includes such indispensible parts of the writer's life as working with an agent, selling one's book, and simply getting going every day. Gardner taught writing himself for over two decades, and manages to survey the subject of writing--and the teaching of it in workshops--with modesty, humor, and a clear head.
