Book description
"These are rules I've picked up along the way to help me remain
invisible when I'm writing a book, to help me show rather than tell
what's taking place in the story." - Elmore Leonard For aspiring
writers and lovers of the written word, this concise guide breaks down
the writing process with simplicity and clarity. From adjectives and
exclamation points to dialect and what he calls 'hooptedoodle', Elmore
Leonard explains what to avoid, what to aspire to, and what to do when
it sounds like "writing" (rewrite). Beautifully designed,
filled with free-flowing, elegant illustrations, and specially priced,
ELMORE LEONARD'S 10 RULES OF WRITING is the perfect writer's - and
reader's - guide. Elmore Leonard has written more than forty books
during his phenomenal career. Many of his books have been made into
successful movies, including Get Shorty, Out of Sight, Rum Punch (which
became Tarantino's Jackie Brown) and Killshot. In 2006 he was awarded
the CWA Diamond Dagger.
