The Business of Writing I

My perception of writing is not dissimilar to the methodical approach of a scientific invention. Both require creativity, precision, and attention to detail.

What happens when an individual decides to take on this production as their permanent role – to call themselves, not just someone who writes, but a writer? How are they transformed? How differently must they operate?

What does it take to be a writer? What do you need to scale that fence, or cross over that drawbridge, from being merely the person who writes, to the person who is hired to write?

These are the fundamental questions that this book helps to answer.
