Book Reviews of The First Five Pages: A Writer's Guide to Staying Out of the Rejection Pile
Book Review: Advice that might make abysmal writers slightly less so.
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a book about how not to write. It shows you how to avoid bad dialogue, weak characterisation, poor pacing, and various other forms of amateurishness. As such it will help awful writers become slightly less awful. But if you can write and want to find out how to get published, there are more appropriate books out there.
