A fascinating array of contributors shared their insight and exercises for this 5th volume in the Now Write! series.
“I focused on the genres rather than a particular medium for this book. That allowed me to include fiction and nonfiction authors, screenwriters, TV writers, comic book writers, even a few poets.” – Laurie Lamson, editor
