The Boonies Are Us
As a writer and aspiring writer, I've read them all, but never have I encountered such a complete, no-nonsense, nuts-and-bolts guide to magazine writing. If you have it in your library, I really don't think you need another. It's all here, and very practical--with the added bonus of getting two writer's thoughts for the price of one. If you have any hope of selling professionally, you'll find all the tools you need inside. It's also very Canadian, great for us, not quite so great for U.S. folk. The techniques, however, are sound for anyone, anywhere.
