For years Judy Bridges has been helping writers perfect their craft. Shut Up \u0026amp; Write! shares her knowledge with those who do not have the privilege of working with her directly. Instructive and encouraging, beginners use it to learn the brass tacks; pros use it as a tune-up or to polish skills in added areas. Topics include: how to organize thoughts, engage readers, make characters (real or imagined) come to life, select a workable point of view, show and tell, keep the “drive” in narrative drive, handle critiques, edit, and get published.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTable of Contents: \u003cbr\u003eChapter One: Oh, Yes You Can\u003cbr\u003eChapter Two: In a Nutshell: The Writer's Process\u003cbr\u003eChapter Three: Characters: Real and Imagined\u003cbr\u003eChapter Four: Stories: Fact or Fiction\u003cbr\u003eChapter Five: Point of View (POV): Seeing Eye to Eye\u003cbr\u003eChapter Six: Show and Tell\u003cbr\u003eChapter Seven: Writing from the Inside\u003cbr\u003eChapter Eight: Nonfiction and the Organized Mind\u003cbr\u003eChapter Nine: Critiques and Writers' Groups\u003cbr\u003eChapter Ten: A Hatful of Rabbits: When the Going Gets Tough\u003cbr\u003eChapter Eleven: Spit-and-Polish\u003cbr\u003eChapter Twelve: Getting Published: It's a New Day\u003cbr\u003eAppendix A: Sample Format for a Manuscript\u003cbr\u003eAppendix B: Sample Format for a Cover or Query Letter\u003cbr\u003eIndex","brand":"Redbird Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47073682784496,"sku":"2940013276055","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013276055_p0.jpg?v=1763579105","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013276055","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
