The Write Word at the Right Time

by Lawrence W. Gold

The French writer Gustave Flaubert would spend days worrying over a single sentence until he got the words just right. In today’s world, who has that kind of time?

Finding the perfect word is difficult to impossible, leaving writers with two options: abandon the search or find shortcuts.

That’s where The Write Word at the Right Time comes in. Consisting of lists and other writing gems, author Lawrence W. Gold’s handbook will assist any writer who is stuck looking for an alternate to “said,” “suddenly,” and other words that can flatten one’s writing.

Unlike the time-consuming thesaurus, The Write Word at the Right Time offers succinct sources curated from Gold’s own writing career, which includes over twenty novels.

Intended for writers across all genres, The Write Word at the Right Time is the reference for writers at every level to enhance their work.
