Um bom manual

Quem já conseguiu publicar um romance ou uma coletânea profissionalmente provavelmente verificará que já descobriu, sozinho ou de alguma outra maneira, uma boa parte do que este livro tem a ensinar. Mas este guia será bem útil para quem pretende enfrentar esse desafio pela primeira vez - com certeza, mais do que os tantos manuais que há por aí sobre a "Jornada do Herói". Não dá uma receita para escrever um livro e sim explica o que funciona e o que deve ser evitado quando se procura escrever fantasia e ficção científica.
