by Leigh Brackett (Author), Lester Dent (Author), Robert Leslie Bellem (Author)

This is a collection of articles on fiction writing that were written a long time ago, whose advice has proven the test of time.

When I published "Pulp Era Writing Tips" I had no idea how hungry folks were for this type of book. It's been too long in the assembly, but here it is for your enjoyment and instruction. Twenty Seven new-old articles written by recognizable greats and a few forgotten heroes.

It's funny to see how much modern writing advice is just watered-down copies of these ideas.

Included in this volume:
  • Why editors (and nowadays, readers) reject stories.
  • More great sources of plot seeds.
  • How to make your story more interesting.
  • Spicing up your dialog without losing your audience.
  • Cram more drama into your stories.
  • Terrify readers by building emotion in a ghost story.
  • Learn from the greats by analyzing their best work.
  • Find what makes a plot seem plausible to the reader.
  • Embrace the fact that there is no shame in writing to entertain.
  • Make scenes more dramatic.
  • And much more...
