This is what happens when Strunk & White takes An Idiot's Guide to Getting Published to a cheesy motel room for a weekend of frolic. You get the perfect love child of how to write a book for publication without looking like the proverbial idiot. Seidman manages to beat the unsuspecting reader over the head with his well worn copy of Elements of Style in such a way that you don't really notice the lumps until later. Then he switches hats and lets you know exactly what's going on behind those closed editorial doors. Apparently they aren't designing new and inventive ways of make authors pull the rest of the hair out and swear to take up horticulture.
If you want to write a book and you want to publish it, then this is one of those that should grace your collection of how to write books and get published tomes. It's compact, it's laminated cover doubles as a coaster in a pinch, and you can actually learn some punctuation rules if you're not careful.

Finally, a coherent account of the actual workings of the publishing industry. Invaluable. A book to be read over and over . . .

Picture this: By some strange twist of fate you're trapped in a bar after hours and your only companion is a man who holds the answers to why you just can't seem to sell that manuscript....and, he's talking! Okay, that's a little dramatic but, not terribly far from the mark. This book takes you behind the scenes of the publishing industry and not only answers the hows but the whys (which I found to be invaluable insider information). The chapters on writing are not only practical, but inspiring. (This guy's got the mind of an editor and the heart of a writer....a priceless combination.)
This is one of the few books on writing that manages to avoid the snooze factor right to the last page and made me feel a little more savy and a lot more inspired than any book of its kind.
Put it this way, if you don't read it, that's one more writer I've got a leg up on.

Michael Seidman is my editor at Walker & Co. He's an opinionated, stubborn, argumentative person, and the book world needs more like him. If you want another book full of conventional wisdom and stuff you've read before, go buy something else. If you want one thoughtful, experienced person's honest appraisal of writing and publishing, buy this book. You may disagree with parts of it, but you'll never suspect you're being BS'd. This is the truth to the best of Seidman's knowledge, including his observations of both the creative and business aspects of the writing life. The book business will probably seem less arbitrary after you've read FICTION: The Art and Craft of Writing and Getting Published.

Award this one six stars. From the hand of an experienced and crafty editor, FICTION not only provides strong help for the writer writing, it lays out fundamental current business practices that any writer will find useful once the manuscript is completed. The section on contract negotiations is excellent. Opinionated, probably controversial in places, this hard-eyed look at the art and the business of publishing is nevertheless affirming, accessible and inspiring. FICTION should be in every serious writing class and on every writers' bookshelf.

This is a concise, intelligent piece of work written in three clearly defined segments; the most intensive being the first part which deals directly with the art of writing in the real world. There is then a short, centrally located segment which is about networking that makes plain good sense look quite simply like a brilliant idea. The Third and last section deals in no uncertain terms with the Business of Publishing, and make no mistake, the guy who wrote it has more than 40 years experience in the field, so each page he presents to us is not only useful, it's a no fooling around, fact-filled leaf within a series of only hundred and some business oriented pages that complete this valuable text. The book then is punctuated with an ending comprised of short, comprehensively helpful lists. Do yourself a favor and don't miss it.

Any writer of fiction who cares about good stories but wants to know the realities of publishing should own a copy of this book. FICTION is packed with insights into writing and suggestions for finding one's own path to creating work that is both saleable and satisfying. While I've enjoyed books by Lawrence Block and BIRD BY BIRD (and recommend them highly), I find that this is the sort of book that I'll come back to again and again for recharging my enthusiasm and sharpening my techniques. While the advice seems dead-on throughout, I particularly liked the sections on characterization and the hero's journey. As for the advice on description...I've never seen better. The writing exercises are valuable tools for developing the writing skills to create good work; then there's the information about the mechanics of publishing, once the good work has found a home. Additionally, Seidman's engaging, conversational writing style makes the book a pleasure to read. For me, the best thing about FICTION is that it not only answers the questions that writers have--it ultimately teaches the thought processes that'll help them find their own solutions and their own paths to creating their best work.
