Dwight Swain was one of the great fiction writing teachers and Techniques of the Selling Writer is his best work. A friend of mine tipped me off to this book back in about 1990. I read the book and applied it to my writing. Then I read it again and applied it to my writing. If you have the talent, this book can make you a novelist. There is a lot of meat in here. Over the course of a year or so, I learned how to write. If there is any reason I’m published today, it’s because of what I learned in this book.

What do I find when I look back along the road that these writers and hundreds of others like them have followed, as they went through courses with me and various of my colleagues: Foster-Harris, Helen Reagan Smith (in the Universitys Extension Division), and the late Walter S.

The selling parts of the book are things I've gotten elsewhere, but learning what makes good sentences, good scenes, balanced chapters-it's worth a fortune. This book and Gary Provost's MAKING YOUR WORDS WORK are the two best tools for writers I've found. And I'm saying this as my 1th book is about to come out, and my 500th shorter piece. When it comes to the art of writing, put Dwight Swain in the coveted class of Strunk and White. What that respected duo does for writing style, Swain does for writing technique. With nary a wasted word, he rips away all the mystery, all the obfuscation from everything from character to conflict to complication, plus a lot more.
