Hem, is this good for authors or graphic design artists?

This book is meant more for authors. I am using it in the Writing for Digital Media class I am teaching at the University.

You're a teacher! Wonderful! I am a daughter of a teacher and former teacher myself. Would you recommend it to a desk top publisher?

It could be useful to you, but it is aimed more at those writing scripts for commercials or movies. This is the first time I am using it (and the first time I'm teaching this class), so I can't give you much more than that at this point. I'd recommend locating it on Amazon or something and see what the table of contents goes over and if it coincides with what you're looking for.
