Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Authorship Thorough preparation for literary work is most desirable; but how few, in determining to enter upon a literary career, give to this any thought or attention. The young man or woman just out of school, the woman of fashion, the weary housewife, the professional man or the man of business, may conclude that he or she possesses undeveloped literary talent, and forthwith prepares to enter the arena. We say "prepares," but rather the entry into the arena is without preparation of any sort. The tyro does not understand why he is not as competent to write for editors and for the public as Jones, who appears to be successful in that line, whom he knows well and is very certain is no smarter than himself. That point of view may be correct, but he overlooks the fact that Jones has served an apprenticeship of many years. The beginner should ask himself if he is willing to do the same, and if not, would better resign his literary ambitions at once. When the time arrives that men and women who wish to become writers will look upon the idea exactly as they would upon that of becoming a blacksmith, or an artist, or an opera singer, there will be fewer incompetents knocking at editorial doors. When they realize that training is all-important, that success is to be expected only after this training, and as the result of concentrated effort and experience; that any other success is phenomenal and unusual; and that this course pursued with great patience, allied to some amount of inherent aptitude and ability will bring a measure of success, then writing will be a less sad business all around.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Contemporary Short Story: A Practical Manual A distinguished British critic, Professor Hugh Walker, remarks: There is no other form Of literature in which America is so eminent as in the writing of short stories. This dictum alone is sufficient justification for introducing a course in this subject into every college in the land. Not only is a better understanding and appreciation Of the finest short stories fostered by such a course, but not a few students find themselves able to write tales that are accepted by reputable American periodicals if not during their undergraduate years, at any rate Shortly afterward. Writing fiction for the magazines is both an art and a business. This volume accordingly aims to teach promis ing young authors, whether in or out Of college, how to write stories that shall be marketable as well as artistic. It attempts to state succinctly, and as clearly as may be, some fundamental principles of short-story writing. These principles are based upon somewhat extensive reading of short fiction in English, both classic and contemporary; Of a pretty large number of manuscripts submitted to important periodicals; and of most of the critical works on the short story. Many of the pages are written from the editorial standpoint. I have not attempted to set up an impracticable ideal on the one hand, nor to concede too much to the lower range of popular taste on the other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Authorship: Literary Reminiscences, Methods of Work, and Advice to Young Beginners, Personally Contributed by Leading Authors of the Day Some time since I was requested by a number of young men to address them upon the art of composition and effective public speech. Thinking how best to make such a topic interesting as well as instructive, I resolved to illustrate the lecture by securing, if at all possible, ipersonal experiences and counsels from a few of the leading writers and speakers of our day. Appealing to several well known authors and orators, and receiving valued and helpful replies, I was induced to extend the number of such personal testimonies, with the idea of giving them to those for whom they were designed in a more permanent form than an address spoken from the lecture plat form. This volume is the outcome, so far as the above-mentioned communications bear directly upon the art of effective written composition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Authorship And yet, just as you study painting before you can expect to place your ideas in pictorial form, so it is only reasonable that before you can expect to demand the attention of the public through the printed or spoken word, you ought at least to know how to do this. Every particular art has its rules, and yet art generally has certain fundamental rules which are applicable to all. That is why it so often happens that an artist in poetry is an artist in painting. A great actor may be a great musical composer, or a playwright a clever sculptor. Every artist has already in him the essential attributes well developed and ready for his other art; and for him there is far less to be learnt than in the case of the aspirant who has never studied art of any kind, but just walked boldly into writing and been surprised that success was not ready to shake him by the hand at the first effort.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Script and Print: A Practical Primer for Use in the Preparation of Manuscript and Print This little primer has taken form through years of practical work. Many, indeed most, of the rules given therein have been formulated by the author. It is well known that more or less confusion obtains as to the entire subject of which it treats. Of course, rules have been formulated and are more or less observed. But because of the lack of mastery of the subject, and also because usage at certain points is more or less optional, absolute chaos has prevailed and does prevail as to the matter in hand. A merely casual study, if intelligent, of the various publications that come into our possession will con vince as to this.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Craftsmanship of Writing Would-be authors themselves, and not with their preparation. The best teaching they can anywhere receive is at most a make shift, a mere starting point; they must learn to rely upon themselves, and the earlier the better. The most that this book or any other can do is to guide them away from certain wrong paths and toward certain right ones; they must cultivate self-criticism, industry, the art of taking infinite pains, the habit of looking upon to-day's failures as the stepping stones toward to-morrow's success. The laurels of authorship are worth the winning largely because there is no primrose path leading to them. New York: April 13, 1911.
