Absolutely fantastic! The title sounded cheeky, so I picked it up. It did not disappoint! Great information for the writer, both budding and seasoned. Easily translates to artists as well. Written in a lively and entertaining tone to make the learning experience significantly more enjoyable! A must read for anyone in the arts, literary or otherwise!
