3.		Writing and Selling Your Novel from Writer's Digest Books Price: $4.89 Customer Review: This book is all about the fundamentals that a writer needs.

4.		Schaum's Quick Guide to Writing Great Short Stories from McGraw-Hill Price: $3.11 Customer Review: This book was pretty useful as a nuts 'n' bolts manual for the beginning or seasoned writer. On this level I would give it 4 out of 5 stars. It doesn't get 5 stars because no new insights or methodologies were introduced.

5.		Setting: How to Create and Sustain a Sharp Sense of Time and Place in Your Fiction (Elements of Fiction Writing) from Writers Digest Books Price: $12.83 Customer Review: As one version of the cover claims, this book is designed to help new writers "create and sustain a sharp sense of time and place in [their] fiction."

6.		The 38 Most Common Fiction Writing Mistakes from Writers Digest Books Price: $0.93 Customer Review: For those who are not MFA's in creative writing and are learning the craft of creative writing on their own (i.e. me), this is an excellent book.

7.		The Art of the Short Story from Longman Price: $13.77 Customer Review: I actually bought this book for a class I was taking in Short Fiction, but I still found some enjoyment reading this for myself.

8.		Techniques of the Selling Writer from Univ of Oklahoma Pr (Trd) Price: $18.73 Customer Review: Great book and easy to understand. Well worth the money for a beginner writer or even an experienced one.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		Shaping the Story: A Step-by-Step Guide to Writing Short Fiction from Longman Price: $32.94 Customer Review: Bought this book to use for an online class. It has some interesting ideas and ways of getting into writing a story, but it didn't work well for me. Not my style. Its not a bad book but I don't think it will necessarily have a universal appeal. There were many others in my class who thought the same... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Elements of Writing Fiction - Beginnings, Middles & Ends (Elements of Fiction Writing) from Writers Digest Books Price: $4.83 Customer Review: This book was a very easy read - one that can literally be read in a few hours - which is an impressive feat for an educational book. The author really moved the content along in that she was clear and straight forward and she used lots of examples to drive her points home. She had several good... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
