Murphey's Writer to Writer

Veteran author Cecil (Cec) Murphey made a double commitment when he started writing professionally: (1) He would never stop learning and improving, and (2) He would do whatever he could to help other writers. This book is part of that commitment. In Writer to Writer, Cec shares valuable, bite-sized lessons he's learned on his journey, such as: • How to get beyond the amateur look; • Why writing articles is a good place to start; • The importance of showing and telling; • Choosing the best words and tenses; • Using dialog to move your story along; • Writing from the right perspective; • Keeping your reader happy; • Working with publishers, editors, and agents; • Making a living as a writer. It's possible to become an excellent writer, and the tips and advice provided in Writer to Writer from a master at his craft promise to guide you on the right path. Note: WRITER TO WRITER is a previously published work, and is not substantially different from the original edition.

Beloved author Cecil (Cec) Murphey says, "The best kind of writing occurs when it comes from the heart. It's called being authentic or transparent. Too many writers have an insatiable need to be accepted, liked, or admired, and those needs become more important than being true to their convictions. Be you when you write." But having the courage to tap into your innermost self and write purely from your spirit doesn't always come naturally, which is why he wrote Unleash the Writer Within to guide you along the way. In this book, Cec helps you: * Answer why you write; * Find the real you; * Understand your inner critic; * Determine your strengths and weaknesses; * Honor, embrace, and grow your voice; * Discover your rhythm; * Overcome your barriers to honest writing. Unleash the Writer Within is sure to become your most-used and marked-up writing companion. It also serves as an excellent resource for writers' events, group discussions, and conferences.
