 Still Remarkably Timely Wisdom March 24, 2003
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Though written in 1933, this, the first of Woodford's string of classic books on writing, still holds up well today, with his trademark caustic, no BS realistic advice for writers. I witheld one star in my rating only because a significant portion of the book is devoted to writing and marketing short stories to the then plentiful hordes of magazines that thrived on slick and genre fiction. Alas, that market is long gone, replaced by TV, so Woodford's advice there is now irrelevant to the needs of writers today.Otherwise, the book is still entertaining and trenchant.
 Tough, no-nonsense, wonderful! April 30, 2001

I found a copy of this book, the 7th edition published in 1937, in my grandfather's bookshelf after his death and fell in love. The best way I can think to describe this book is a "film noir" writer's guide, because the whole tone of the book reminds me of how a writer's guide would sound if it were written by Sam Spade or Philip Marlowe! It's great, and deals very frankly with the business of writing. Even if you have no intention of putting pen to paper (or finger to keyboard), you will enjoy this book!
