Words for Writers
September 7, 2004
Though it took me a little too long, I finished reading The Forest for the Trees: An Editor’s Advice to Writers. It was a great read, and as someone who likes writing, the advice is both humbling and enlightening. Best of all, there’s that feeling that the walls that I run into are not out there for me alone. There’s something very encouraging about that.
Betsy Lerner is very candid and open with her insights, and her style and prose is both relaxed and encouraging while still stern. She offers a lot to learn from in the world of publishing, and anyone seeking to get a piece in print, or seeking to continue to keep things in print has something to learn from this book.
