Grammar Nazis Are Not Always Rite, Right, Write: Based On A Creative Writing Course That Repudiates Most Of What Is Considered Proper For Writing Fiction

Grammar Nazis Are Not Always Rite, Right, Write is based on a fiction writing course I taught at a small university that repudiates, in both humorous and serious ways, what is considered by most writers to be proper and necessary for writing fiction. It is not a HOW-TO book. It is a book intended to help you find your own creative path, get rid of your fear over writing, and answer many questions that seem to haunt both novice and established writers. It covers grammar, punctuation, show don't tell, write what you know, and many other topics that in my opinion are unnecessary when writing fiction. It also explores many aspects of the modern writing business (both traditional and self-publishing). You may wonder why I have the expertise to have written this book. I have been writing for 45 years and to date 16 of my novels have been published by traditional presses. I have also Indied 9 novels. I have placed poems and short stories with literary presses and written for outdoor magazines and newspapers. My novels have received excellent reviews from Publishers Weekly, Best Sellers and Midwest Book Review. Several of my novels were optioned and many of my students have become published authors. A fun, informative, quick read that will open your eyes to different possibilities.
