review 1: I found this to be a comprehensive gathering of tips, tricks, straight forward directives and open-minded suggestions. Topics ranged widely from the truly creative end (what we love, of course) all the way through to the not always palatable business end of things. Well, only some aren't so grand but others are, especially in working hard on building good relationships in your writing world.The chapters and sections within are laid out in an easy to follow structure.Examples of topics, especially in regards to writing, are used to help clarify and are done well. A lot of it sounds like common sense, and is, but sometimes when you're neck deep in your piles of pieces of story, it's easy to lose focus. A lot of this is helpful in maintaining that focus.The contributing autho... morers, readers and reviewers all give answers that allow multiple POV's which can help you make your own decisions on the given topics.Honestly, best of all, is the humor. It feels to me like I'm hearing all of this from someone I know - I speaka zee longuage LOL.Having read a number of the authors, it was fun and informative to hear what they think.I would definitely recommend this.
review 2: As an aspiring writer, I thought the information in this book was invaluable. As a reader, I was amazed at the complexity of writing a good m/m romance.This is a very informative book but told in a wonderful, readable style which makes reading it truly interesting. I loved the thoughts and quotes from the myriad of contributing authors and it was brilliant to see Josh Lanyon's own stories and characters used to illustrate various points. Excellent! less
