About the author

Since 1978, Scott has studied happily and productively with several spiritual teachers, including Toni Packer, Dainin Katagiri, Tim McCarthy, and (currently) Steve Hagen. As the friend of many spiritual teachers from a variety of traditions, he has also spent much time with them off duty, sometimes serving as confidant. He is a longtime practitioner of both Buddhism and Judaism, and a committed proponent of serious spirituality in all forms and traditions. He has been a member of Methodist, Quaker, Buddhist, and Jewish congregations.

Scotts short work on spiritual topics has appeared in Shambhala Sun, American Jewish World, The Writer, the anthology What About God? (Upper Room Books), and elsewhere. His new book Sex and the Spiritual Teacher will be published in April 2011 by Wisdom Publications. A sequel, Breathe, Listen, Learn: A Practical Guide for Everyone Who Wants (or Has) a Spiritual Teacher, will be published in 2012 by Wisdom.

Scott is the author of 15 other books on a wide range of subjects, including writing and publishing, success in college, and recovery from addiction. "

Very good book with great tips. I got this book on 2002 and I continue to use it as a source to enhance my writing. The book covers a variety of writing mediums and how best to get published. It also breaks down literary terms and provides answers to "why" writers write. Absolutely love the book.
