Midwest Book Review Joins Praise for Klim's WRITE TO PUBLISH
Midwest Book Review adds to growing praise for award-winning author Christopher Klim's Write to Publish: Essentials for the Modern Fiction & Memoir Market. Two sections separate this book from other basic writing books. … a chapter on professional revisions … [And] information on how to get your book published," claims The Midwest Book Review.
The Midwest Book Review continues the outstanding praise for Christopher Klim's WRITE TO PUBLISH: Essentials for the Modern Fiction & Memoir Market.
"Write to Publish covers all the typical areas you would expect in a basic book on writing fiction," states the MWBR. "The author discusses such things as openings, developing believable characters, point of view, setting the story landscape and working with plot development. This basic information is followed by two sections that separate this book from other basic writing books. First is a chapter on professional revision that actually goes through the items that should be examined in the review process. It includes such items as reexamining structure plot, character traits, simplifying sentence structure, and varying sentence structure, paragraph length, and word choice. The rest of the book predominantly contains information on how to get your book published. This includes tips for writing query letters, dealing with agents, submission etiquette, and even dealing with rejection. The greatest value of this book is that it covers all the relevant areas of getting your fiction book written and published. These areas are covered at a somewhat basic level and you can find other books ... but then again, they tend to not be as thorough in covering all aspects of writing and publishing."
Klim, author of the acclaimed satire Jesus Lives in Trenton, is known for his writing seminars and mastery of story structure. (www.ChristopherKlim.com) As Write to Publish enters the market and Klim embarkes on another lengthy tour, the Midwest's review adds to the early praise:
I swear if I had read this book twenty years ago I would be on a book tour right now … Write to Publish is a cornucopia of tips, tricks of the trade, and insights gathered by the author over his past twenty years as a writer and educator. … a must read for every yet to be published writer."
—Maggie Harding, Book Crazy Radio
Klim covers the process of writing publishable novels, memoirs and short stories from concept to marketing. A must read for all who labor with an eye toward publication. Klim's insights into the craft – plot, characterizations, pacing, viewpoint – are laced with wit and wisdom. A must-have book for all who aspire to write skillfully and sell what they write."
—Robert Gover, author of One Hundred Dollar Misunderstanding
Practical, good-humored advice. What Klim includes is unusual and very helpful: examples of his own query letters and a novel synopsis, examples of what a short story first page should look like, as well as a novel submission. … something Ive never seen in how to" books; he dissects his own short story by showing us the parts, including a character sketch and an extremely helpful scene and sequel analysis," which leads the reader through the building blocks of creating this story."

—Deborah Kaple, author of Dream of a Red Factory
I was impressed at how he was able to provide the reader with the essential elements needed to breathe life into a manuscript. … this author is sharing his success strategies by having tried each method personally. … I am confident that by following his very detailed advice from point A to Z, there is no way that you could prevent your work from finding its way into the printed world society."
