The Art of War for Writers

window

This is a very easy-to-read book modeled after Sun Tzu's The Art of War. The book is divided into 3 sections: reconnaisance, tactics, and strategy. Each section has numerous tips, hints, and suggestions, none of which is more then a page or so long. This is the type of book that would be helpful to have on hand as a reference as the topics cover such a wide range. Many of the points are easy to absorb conceptually but might need a review when it comes time to implement.

Well-written, entertaining, and helpful.
