How to Write a Book
Professional advice from authors can usually be distilled down to: write everyday and edit mercilessly. How to begin and find a writing process is largely a personal choice. Writers do everything from map the direction and research meticulously, to letting the path of the book emerge sentence by sentence. Regardless of the road, in addition to daily commitment, when writing books, you need both peer and professional advice to keep you from straying.
How to Write a Book Review
A book review is a piece that states a reaction to and assessment of a book.
