Valuable aid

It's unfortunate that the actual title of the book is not given (The Professional Writers' Phrase Book) as it will not show up in a search for it under subject matter. As a fanfiction writer who sometimes goes blank when I need a pithy description, I was thrilled to see that Jean Kent, author of The Romance Writers' Phrase Book, had done this non-genre collection. It truly IS a valuable resource and I highly recommend it to all. The phrases within aid a certain something to anyone's writer, whether it is for fiction or non-fiction.

Great Reference for Marketing Writers

As an advertising copywriter, I find this book to be an invaluable reference for when I'm experiencing writer's block. I'll read a few of the suggested product promotion trade tags and instantly become creatively inspired. It's a great crutch for when you're in a pinch.
