Review: The 38 Most Common Fiction Writing Mistakes

The 38 Most Common Fiction Writing Mistakes by Jack M. Bickham


My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Some solid advice, but I found it was too heavily wrapped in fabricated anecdotes and a know-it-all writing style. I skimmed the majority of the last third, it was getting too hard to read. In my opinion, I found Donald Maass’s “Writing the Breakout Novel” far more readable, with better tips and examples.
