The Rules of Writing is a collection of guidelines put together by Michael A. Stackpole and originally published in issues 2-21 of his writing newsletter, The Secrets. These rules include advice from other writers, and insights gleaned through years of professional writing. These are lessons that every writer learns, usually in the first few years of their career, so studying The Rules of Writing can speed your development considerably, and help you avoid many of the mistakes that plague writers early on.

Forty-one pages with black and white illustrations. Price: $20.00.

Note: If you already own the first volume of The Secrets, you have all the included material here and much more, so there is no need to add this book to your collection.
