Summary: Same Answers to the Same Questions From Another Generation
Review: Handbook of Magazine Article Writing answers often sought-after questions, such as:
- What do editors look for in your work?
- Is a cover letter always essential?
- Can you sell the exact same article a number of times within certain groups of publications?
- And, How do you keep your readers reading? With 33 experts, including Don McKinney, James Morgan, Lois Duncan, John Brady, and Candy Schulman, this book proffers advice on everything from queries to the mechanics of writing an article. With so much talent packed into this 246-page book, the difficulty of publishing a newer edition is understandable. However, this book would benefit if it were brought into the age of the Internet. If you are looking for the basics on article writing, and want it only from the masters of manuscript, then the Handbook of Magazine Article Writing is for you!

Summary: An oldy but a goody.
Review: I was very pleased with this book and constantly refer back to it for practical ideas and assistance. I expect a handbook to provide the nuts and bolts, or practical side, of writing and this book came through in that area. As a novice, I need a step by step guidance and found much of it here. It's defintely an important book on my shelf!

Summary: Worst Book EVER read
Review: This book is writen by a series of authors. Each chapter is written by a single author, and each write about a single theme. However the chapters are too shallow. No good substance found for a serious person trying to write a good article that may be a good candidate for publishing. The autors are more interested in telling how good they are (in their own perspective) than willing to teach anyone about their supposed knowledge.

Summary: A good read but not very informative
Review: This book was easy to read and had some valuable information but skipped over a lot of the nuts and bolts. I would pass on it next time.
