Carlos Ors bravo asked Fred Van Lente:

What books do you recommend reading? Besides the classics, what little-known books do you think are crucial to a learning author?

Fred Van Lente Just got asked this on a pro Facebook group I'm a member of: You could do worse than David Mamet's "Three Uses of the Knife" and "On Directing Film," even though they apply to theater and movies, respectively, and not prose. Mamet's views of storytelling, while often extreme, are worth hearing and considering, even if you end up not agreeing with all of them.

Rosemary McKinley asked Fred Van Lente:

Thanks for taking the time to give me some advice. I am doing a book presentation @ Southampton Historical Museum on Henry Green tomorrow. I have contacted many libraries and historical societies. Some are interested and ask me to come in. I did a power pt. presentation on Henry @ West Islip Library in November and have had calls from that. Not sure after that?
