The final volume of Writers on Writing from Crystal Lake Publishing is a welcome addition to the series. Held within its pages are ten essays full of quality advice and helpful pointers for writers from both established figures and exciting new voices in the writing and publishing industry. For example, there is heartfelt advice on how to write poetry, specifically with a darker edge, from Stephanie M. Wytovich, a great piece on the necessity of networking and how you can make it work, including a helpful anecdote for reference, from critically-acclaimed editor and writer Doug Murano, a thoughtful and instructive examination of description and what you should include and leave out when describing an element in your story from Patrick Freivald, and some very insightful, practical and encouraging advice from award-winning Lynda E. Rucker regarding finding your voice as a writer and the steps you can take to find your own. Crystal Lake Publishing has become synonymous with quality fiction AND non-fiction and this latest (and last) instalment in their Writers on Writing series is no exception. I look forward to reading their future non-fiction releases and I hope that, though the title may change, the quality of the advice and insight remains.
