Writing Kit
The Editors of Writer's Digest Books
#UB7902
$24.99
I've taken several writing classes over the past few years looking for inspiration as well as technical advice. This kit combines much of what I gleaned from those courses into one concise (and much less expensive!) package. Two helpful books offer practical advice: 70 Solutions to Common Writing Mistakes, which identifies and helps overcome familiar writing pitfalls (I'm often guilty of #1—"Not Starting"), as well as The Mini Market Book, a guide to submitting your work for publication, tailored to first-timers. To jump-start your writing, thirty different "Prompt" cards offer creative suggestions, such as "What would happen if you ran into an old crush from grade school?" For more focused work, thirty "Exercise" cards challenge you to look at and improve specific aspects of your craft, from cliché replacement to character development. A valuable set of practical and creative tools for success in fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, the Writing Kit makes a thoughtful gift for a would-be author of works of any genre.
