In this one-of-a-kind guide, award-winning author, essayist, teacher, and editor Lee Gutkind gives you concise, pointed advice on every aspect of writing and selling your work, including:
  • Guidelines for choosing provocative--and salable--topics
  • Smart research techniques--including advice on conducting penetrating interviews and using electronic research tools
  • Tips for focusing and structuring a piece for maximum effectiveness
  • Advice on working successfully with editors and literary agents
