Review
Some subjects simply cannot be adequately discussed in a short span, such as writing a novel. Nevertheless, Richards attempts it... and, unfortunately, falls short of the mark. He seems unaware that there are, in fact, many ways to successfully write a novel: his strict adherence to one method, in a my-way-or-the-highway approach, is neither as helpful nor as sure-fire as he advertizes. He also glosses over traditional publishing options and finding an agent, perhaps considering them obsolete gatekeepers. Ultimately, there's nothing here that one can't find in other, better writing guides.
