Klim's WRITE TO PUBLISH Goes Over Down Under
Rising author Christopher Klim's WRITE TO PUBLISH gains praise with Australia's The Compulsive Reader. The guidelines and working structure are so clear that even the most jaded fiction writers would benefit …" —Maggie Ball, The Compulsive Reader
In a recent review and interview with Maggie Ball of Australia's The Compulsive Reader, award-winning author Christopher Klim discusses his book and the craft of writing.
"It's all part of a growing appreciation for this breakout author," says publicist Karin Seidel. "In this business, you look for a new and unique voice. This one also carries an exceptional talent for teaching. It's a rare combination."
"I lay out the entire tool set for the writing craft," Klim states in the interview. "I don't pretend to say that I can instill you with talent. The latter claim is both arrogant and impossible. We all have talent in some special area. If you think that it's the written word, you must read voraciously, write every day, and become a student of the craft by learning the basics of story and structure."
The recent review is one of many to weigh in on this highly praised fiction author's book on the craft.
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
Anyone who wants to write and/or publish will profit from this book. Author Klim gives us the essentials needed for a marketable novel, sharing his success methods, his own personal secrets. … His passion is contagious … This is one of the best handbooks Ive come across, fun to read and full of useful information."
—Maryanne Raphael, Writers World
Write to Publish covers all the typical areas you would expect … [But] two sections separate this book from other basic writing books. … a chapter on professional revisions that actually goes through the items that should be examined in the review process … [And] information on how to get your book published – tips for writing query letters, dealing with agents, submission etiquette, and even dealing with rejection."
—The Midwest Book Review
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."
—Suzie Housley, MySelf.com
The greatest value of this book is that it covers all relevant areas of getting your fiction book written and published. … you can find other books but then again, they tend to not be as thorough in covering all of the aspects of writing and publishing."
—Harold McFarland, Readers Preference Reviews
"His easy to read style of writing, enables a writer from any background to start the engine of their thoughts."
-Judine Slaughter, Express Yourself Books
