An essential for any aspiring novelist

Being relatively new to writing I had little idea of where to start. This book was fantastic, not just for plots but for writing in general. Jean Saunders knows her craft and knows it well. Having so many published works this is definitely by someone who can and does write for a living. Definitely a must and all in a very easy read as well.

A real book about plotting!

Good stuff for the writer who has been through a lot of How To books and is ready for some commonsense advice. It's a little simplistic in places, but so what? When you're wrangling with PLOT things, you need something specific. This is it.

EXCELLENT RESOURCE

This is a good resource for writing any type of novel. It is a necessary a tool and equally important as a personal computer for the writer.
