Bundle on Craft: A WMG Writer's Guide. WMG Writer's Guides, #19

The secret of a great story often lies in the writer's ability to hone their craft. But many struggle to do so without destroying their unique voice. In this WMG Writer's Guide Bundle on Craft, New York Times bestselling authors and renowned business bloggers Kristine Kathryn Rusch and Dean Wesley Smith help writers successfully develop their skills for a long-term writing career. In The Write Attitude, Rusch shows writers how they can do what they love and love what they do without sabotaging their own success. In Writing into the Dark, Smith takes you step-by-step through the process of writing without an outline and explains why not having an outline boosts your creative voice and keeps you more interested in your writing. In The Pursuit of Perfection, Rusch discusses the destructive ways peer workshops and the quest for perfection derail many writers' careers, offers hope for writers who have suffered at the hands of critique-external and internal-and outlines a path to healing. In Stages of a Fiction Writer, Smith takes you step-by-step through the stages most fiction writers go through and how not to lose hope along the way. "[Kristine Kathryn Rusch's blog, ] The Business Rusch.is full of sound advice and analysis about what's going on."-Jeff Baker, The Oregonian "Dean Wesley Smith's blog gives both a slightly different view of the publishing world than I'd seen before and detailed hands-on 'here's how to get from A to B' instruction."- Erin M.
